Mr. Jones
Lyrics:
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco
dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's
suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish
I was beautiful
So come dance this silence down through the
morning
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of them Spanish dances
And pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe
in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone who believes
Mr. Jones
and me tell each other fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful
women
"She's looking at you. Oh, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When
everybody love you,
You can never be lonely
Well, I'mma paint
my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of
the beautiful colors are very-very meaningful
Yeah well you know
gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew
Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. Jones
and me look into the future
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you.
I don't think so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When
everybody love me,
I will never be lonely
I will never be
lonely
Said I'm never gonna be lonely,
I wanna be a lion
Everybody wanna pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars,
But
we got different reasons for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't
believe in anything
And I wanna be someone to believe, to believe, to
believe
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we
stare at the beautiful women
"She's perfect for you, man, there's got
to be somebody for me."
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes
he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody love you,
Oh, son, that's just about as funky as you can be
Mr. Jones and
me staring at the video
When I look at the television,
I wanna see
me staring right back at me
We all want to be big stars,
But
we don't know why
And we don't know how
But when everybody love
me,
I wanna be just about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and
me, we're gonna be big stars
