Mr.Jones (acústico)

sha la la la la la la uh huh...


I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl

Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer

She dances while his father plays guitar. She s suddenly beautiful

We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful


So come dance this silence down through the morning
*
sha la la la la la la la yeah uh huh...

Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

Believe in me Help me believe in anything

(cause) I want to be someone who believes


Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales

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


I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
*
(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

Stare at the beautiful women

"She s looking at you. Uh, 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 lonely


I will never be lonely

I will never gonna be lonely

I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats

We all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that.

Believe in me because I don t believe in anything

and I want to 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 want to be Bob Dylan

Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

When everybody loves you, 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 want to 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 loves me, I m going to be just about as happy as I can
be.

Mr. Jones and me, we re gonna be big stars.....
