Sha la la la
Verse 1:
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
her 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. sha la la la la la
la la yeah uh huh... Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of them Spanish dances.
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones. Believe in
me. Help me believe in anything 'cause
I, want to be someone who believes, yeah...
Chorus:
Mr. Jones and me, tell each other fairy
tales, yeah well we 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.
Verse 2:
Im gonna paint my picture. Paint myself in
blue and red and black and gray. All of the
beautiful colors are very very meaningful. You
know gray is my favorite color. I felt so
symbolic, yesterday. If I knew Picasso, I would buy
myself a gray guitar and play,
Refrain:
Mr. Jones and
me look into the future. 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 gray
guitar. When everybody loves me, I will never
be lonely, I will never be lonely, I'm never gonna
be lonely. I want to be a lion.
Everybody wants to pass as cats. We
all want to be big, big stars, but we've got
different reasons for that. Believe in me
because I don't believe in anything
and I, want to be someone to believe, to believe,
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.
Refrain & End:
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.
End:
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars...
