sha la la la la la la oooh uh huh
{Verse 1}
I was 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
{Bridge}
So come dance the silence down through the morning
sha la la la la la la la yeah uh huh yeah
{Verse 2}
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, I wanna be someone who believes yeah
{Chorus 1}
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful women
'She's looking at you Ah, no, no, she's looking at me'
Smiling in the bright lights coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
{Verse 3}
Now well I'm gonna paint my picture paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Ya 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
{Chorus 2}
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 loves me, I will never be lo nely
{Interlude}
I will never be lonely
I said I'm never gonna be lo nely
I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big big stars, yeah but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
And I, I wanna be someone to believe, to believe, to believe yeah
{Chorus 3}
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 loves you, ah son, that's just about as funky as you can be
{Chorus 4}
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 wanna be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me, I wanna be just about as happy as I can be
{Ending}
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars
