leave my wings behind me, drink my worries down the drain, and fly away to somewhere new...
I was down at the New Amsterdam,
Staring at this yellow-haired girl.
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer.
She dances while his father plays.
So, she's suddenly beautiful.
We all want something beautiful.
I know I wish I was beautiful.
So, come dance the silence down through the morning.
sha la la la la la la la yeah uh huh yeahh
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of that Spanish dancin, and
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
Cuz I want to 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.
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me.
Smilin in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo.
When everybody loves you,
You can never be lonely.
I wanna paint my picture,
Paint myself in blue and red and black and grey.
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful.
Oh well you know grey is my favorite color.
Ahhh, I felt so symbolic yesterday.
If I knew Picasso,
I would buy myself a grey guitar and play.
Mr. Jones and me
Look into the future.
Yeah, we 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 grey guitar
When everybody loves me,
I will never be lonely
I will never be lonely
So I'm never gonna be
Lonely.
I want to be a lion.
Yeah, everybody wants to pass as cats.
We all want to be big, big stars,
But we got different reasons for that.
Believe in me
Cuz I don't believe in anything
and I want to be someone to believe,
To believe,
To believe.
Yeeeaahh.
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,
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 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....
