Shalalalalalalala, uh huh

I was down at the new Amsterdam
starin' at this yellow haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
with a 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 the silence down through the mornin'
Shalalalalalalala yeah uh huh yeah
cut up, Maria! show me some of that Spanish dancin'
pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones.

Believe in me,
help me believe in anything
'cause I wanna 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 is looking at me
smilin' in the bright lights
comin' through his stereo
when everybody loves you, you can never be lonely.

Well, I'm a paint my picture
paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
all of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
yah, well 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

Mr. Jones and me look into the future
yah, we stare at the beautiful women
she's looking at you.I don't think so. She's looking at me
standin' in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar
when everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
I will never be lonely said I'm never gonna be lonely.

I wanna be a lion
everybody wanna pass as cats
be all wanna be big, big stars,
yeah but, we got different reasons for that
believe in me 'cause I don't believe in anything
and I wanna be someone to believe, to believe, to believe yah.

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
yah, we stare at the beautiful women
she's perfect for you man, there's got to be somebody for me
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
when everybody loves you, ah son, that's just about as funky as you can be.

Mr. Jones and me starin' at the video
when I look at the television
I wanna see me starin' right back at me
we all wanna be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how
but when everybody loves me, I wanna be just about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars.
