COUNTRY CITY MR. JHONES Lyrics

Shalalalalalala yew ahh huh
I was down at the New Amsterdam stare in at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man,I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Shalalalalala yeah ahh huh yeah
Cut Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dance in
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything cause
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."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

Well I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Yeah well you know Gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew a Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Yeah we 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
And when everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
I will never be lonely, I will never going be lonely

I want to be a lion
ahey everybody wants to pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars, yeah
but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me cause I don't believe in anything
and I want to be someone to believe
to beieve, to believe yeah

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, ahh son, that's just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Jones and me stare in at the video
When I look at the television I want to see me, stare in 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 wanta to be, just about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big
