MR JONES - Counting crows

So you wanna be a rock and roll star
listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
and take some time to learn how to play
Just learn how to play.

I was down at the New Amsterdam
just 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
la la la la, oh well
cut up Maria
C'mon, show me some of them spanish dances
and pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones.
Believe in me, c'mon
help me belive in anything
cause I wanna be someone who believes.
Mr. Jones and me tell eachother fairy tales
and we stare at the beautiful women
she's looking at you, na, na, na, she's lookin at me
standing in this bright light
coming through his stereo
when everybody loves you
you should never be lonely
well I wanna paint myself a picture
I wanna paint myself in blue and red and black and grey
all the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
yeah, you know grey, it's my favorite color
I just get so confused everyday
but if I knew picasso I would buy myself a grey guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me
look into the future
we stare at all the beautiful women
Adam, she's lookin at you
I don't think so, she's looking at me
standing in this spotlight
look at me, I got myself this grey guitar
Man, when everybody loves me
I hope I never get lonely.
yeah, I wanna be a lion
I know, I know, everybody wants to pass as cats
we all wanna be big big big big big stars
yeah, but then we get second thoughts about that
i said, believe in me
man, I don't believe in anything
and I don't wanna be someone to believe
you should not believe in me
cause Mr. Jones and me
we just went stumbling through the barrio
we stare at all the beautiful women
Adam, she's perfect for you
there's gotta be someone for me
I wanna be bob dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
well, man, when everybody loves you
sometimes that's just about as fucked-up as you can be
well, can't you hear me
cause I'm screaming
I did not go outside yesterday
oh don't wake me
cause I was dreaming
and I might just stay inside again today.
Mr. Jones and me
we don't see each other much anymore.
