Sha la la la la la la
Hmmm, huh huh
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
We all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Sha la la la la la la la la
Huh huh, yeah
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 wanna be someone who believes
Yeah
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'm gonna 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 lookin' 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
Said I'm never gonna be
Lonely
I wanna be a lion
Hey, everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big, big stars, yeah but
We got different reasons for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't believe in anything
And I, I wanna be someone
To believe, to believe, to believe, yeah
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 forme"
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves 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 stare 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'm gonna be just about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars
