August And Everything After lyrics

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
Cause 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. 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
Said I never gonna be..lonely
I wanna 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, 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
