Lyrics

• 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 up, 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

• 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

• 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 that

• Believe 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 I can be

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