Counting Crows - Mr Jones (Across A Wire) 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
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
