Lyrics
MR. JONES
Was down at the new amsterdam
Starin' At this yellow haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With this black haired, flamenco dancer
Well, she dances with his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
Well we all want something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
Cut up Maria
Show me some of those spanish dance
Well, pass me a bottle Mr. Jones
Believe in me, help me believe in anything
"Cause I wannna be some one who believes
CHORUS
Mr. Jones and me
Tell eacother fairytales
And we starte at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
Oh no no she's looking at me
Standing in the spotlight
Coming through in stereo
"Cause when everybody loves me
I can never be lonely
Well I wanna paint my picture
Paint myself blue and red, black and grey
All of the beautiful colors are so very meaningful
Well now grey is my favorite color
I felt so symblic yeaterday
If I knew Picasso
I might buy myself a grey guitar and play
CHORUS
I wanna be a lion
Hey, everybody want to pass as cats
We all wanna be big big stars
Yeah, but we all got different reasons for that
Believe in me
"Cause I don't believe in anything
And I, wanna be someone who believes
To believe, who believes, yeah
CHORUS
