Mr Jones - Counting Crows
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 Cut Maria! Show me some of them
Spanish dances Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones Believe in me Help
me believe in anything 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 Grey 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 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 thatBelieve in me because I
don't believe in anything and I want to be someone 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 can be Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big
stars...
