Mr. Jones by Counting Crows | lyrics

[fix or update these lyrics]

So you wanna be a rock and roll star
Well listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time
And learn how to play
Just learn how to play
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Just'a starin' at this yellow haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black hair flamenco dancer
You know, she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
And I wish I was beautiful-la la la la
Aw, 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 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
Oh no no she's looking at me"
Standing in this bright light
Comin' through in 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
"She's looking at you
I don't think so, she's looking at me"
Standing in this spot light
Look at me, I bought myself this grey guitar
Man, when everybody loves me
I hope I never get lonely
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
So believe in me
man, I dont believe in anything
And I 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
"She's perfect for you
There's got to be someone for me."
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you
Sometimes, that just about as fucked up as you can be
Well, can't you hear me 'cause I'm screamin'
But I did not go outside yesterday
Oh, don't wake me 'cause I was dreamin'
And I might just stay inside again today
Mr. Jones and me, we don't see eachother much anymore
So you wanna be a rock and roll star?
Well listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time
And learn how to play
Just learn how to play
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Just'a starin' at this yellow haired girl
Mr Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black hair flamenco dancer
You know, she dances while his father plays guitar
Shes suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
And I wish I was beautiful-la la la la
Aw, cut up Maria
Cmon
Show me some of them Spanish dances
And pass me a bottle Mr Jones
Believe in me
C'mon
Help me believe in anything
Cause I wanna be someone who believes
Mr Jones and me
Tell each other fairy tales
We stare at the beautiful women
So you wanna be a rock n' roll star?
Well, listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time
Learn how to play
Just learn how to play
Well, I was down at the New Amsterdam
Just staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with a black-haired flamingo dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
And she's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful...
Lalalala
Oh, cut up, Maria
Come on, show me some of them Spanish dances
And pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Oh, believe in me, come on, help me believe in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone who believes
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairytales
And we stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you, nananana, she's looking 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 gray
All the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yeah, you know gray?
It's my favorite color
I just get so confused every day
But if I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
We stare at all the beautiful women
"Man, she's looking at you, man, I don't think so she's looking at me"
Standing in this spotlight
Look at me I, I got myself this gray guitar
Man, when everybody loves me
I hope I never get lonely
Lalalala
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
So, 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
"Man, she's perfect for you"
There's got to 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 dreaming
But I did not go outside yesterday
Oh, don't wake me cause I was dreaming
And I might just stay inside again today
'Cause Mr. Jones and me, we don't see each other much anymore...

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

We all want something beautiful
I know I wish I was beautiful
So come dance the silence down through the morning

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

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 gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Yeah well you know grey 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
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
When everybody loves me,
I will never be lonely
I will never be lonely
So I'm never gonna be
Lone...ly
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
Cause 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
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 his 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
Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
I want to be someone who believes
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
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
I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
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
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
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
I want to be a lion
Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars, but we got different
reasons for that
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
and I want to be someone 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
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...
