Mr. Jones Lyrics

[00:12.86] I was down at the New Amsterdam
[00:18.67] Staring at this yellow-haired girl
[00:22.11] Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
[00:27.14] With a black-haired flamenco dancer
[00:33.26] She dances while his father plays guitar
[00:40.04] She's suddenly beautiful
[00:43.75] We all want something beautiful
[00:50.16] I wish I was beautiful
[00:53.77] So come dance this silence down through the morning
[01:01.97] Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:06.26] Cut up, Maria!
[01:11.28] Show me some of them Spanish dances
[01:16.90] Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
[01:24.79] Believe in me
[01:27.95] Help me believe in anything
[01:32.99] I wanna be someone who believes
[01:38.36] Mr. Jones and me, tell each other fairy tales
[01:47.17] Stare at the beautiful women
[01:52.74] She's looking at you
[01:55.38] Ah, no, no, she's looking at me
[01:59.35] Smiling in the bright lights
[02:04.46] Coming through in stereo
[02:08.82] When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
[02:21.12] I'm gonna paint my picture
[02:25.94] Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
[02:31.50] All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
[02:40.76] Gray is my favorite color
[02:45.58] I felt so symbolic yesterday
[02:52.79] If I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
[03:03.62] Mr. Jones and me, look into the future
[03:12.12] Stare at the beautiful women
[03:18.11] She's looking at you
[03:20.67] I don't think so, she's looking at me
[03:24.88] Standing in the spotlight
[03:28.97] I bought myself a gray guitar
[03:34.61] When everybody loves me, I'll never be lonely
[03:46.81] I wanna be a lion
[03:52.25] Everybody wants to pass as cats
[03:56.64] We all wanna be big, big stars
[04:02.16] But we've got different reasons for that
[04:07.60] Believe in me, because I don't believe in anything
[04:16.63] And I, I wanna be someone to believe
[04:25.49] To believe, to believe
[04:28.89] Mr. Jones and me, stumbling through the barrio
[04:37.92] Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
[04:43.46] She's perfect for you
[04:45.96] Man, there's got to be somebody for me
[04:50.62] I wanna be Bob Dylan
[04:54.04] Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
[05:00.04] When everybody loves you, oh, son
[05:05.90] That's just about as funky as you can be
[05:10.92]
[05:11.67] Mr. Jones and me, staring at the video
[05:20.87] When I look at the television, I wanna see me
[05:29.27] Staring right back at me
[05:32.65] We all wanna be big stars
[05:36.73] But we don't know why and we don't know how
[05:42.01] But when everybody loves me
[05:46.92] I'll be just about as happy as I can be
[05:54.20] Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars
[06:05.11]
