[00:00.00] 作词 : BOWMAN, STEVE/BRYSON, DAVID/DURITZ, ADAM/GILLINGHAM, CHARLIE/MALLEY, MATT
[00:14.80] I was down at the New Amsterdam
[00:18.27] staring at this yellow-haired girl
[00:20.03]
[00:20.84] Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
[00:24.29] with this black-haired flamenco dancer
[00:26.11]
[00:27.16] She dances while his father plays guitar
[00:29.54]
[00:32.23] She's suddenly beautiful
[00:34.69] We all want something beautiful
[00:38.27] I wish I was beautiful
[00:41.94] So come dance this silence down through the morning
[00:45.76] Cut Maria!
[00:49.32]
[00:58.61] Show me some of them Spanish dances
[01:02.24] Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
[01:04.75]
[01:08.71] Believe in me
[01:09.96]
[01:12.27] Help me believe in anything
[01:14.09]
[01:14.84] Because I want to be someone who believes
[01:19.56]
[01:22.62] Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
[01:29.32] Stare at the beautiful women
[01:31.63] "She's looking at you.
[01:33.51] Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
[01:35.26] Smiling in the bright lights
[01:39.32] Coming through in stereo
[01:42.70] When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
[01:49.21] I will paint my picture
[01:51.78]
[01:52.96] Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
[01:56.59] All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
[02:02.15]
[02:04.47] Gray is my favorite color
[02:06.21] I felt so symbolic yesterday
[02:11.17] If I knew Picasso
[02:12.42] I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
[02:17.54] Mr. Jones and me look into the future
[02:23.05] Stare at the beautiful women
[02:26.11] "She's looking at you.
[02:27.48] Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me."
[02:30.36] Standing in the spotlight
[02:33.42] I bought myself a gray guitar
[02:35.11]
[02:36.42] When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
[02:40.40]
[02:57.19] I want to be a lion
[02:58.94]
[03:01.13] Everybody wants to pass as cats
[03:03.56]
[03:04.19] We all want to be big big stars,
[03:06.81] but we got different reasons for that
[03:09.44]
[03:11.38] Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
[03:15.82]
[03:17.25] and I want to be someone to believe
[03:19.22]
[03:25.12] Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
[03:30.76] Yeah we star at the beautiful women
[03:32.76]
[03:33.88] "She's perfect for you,
[03:34.88]
[03:35.82] Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
[03:37.70]
[03:38.38] I want to be Bob Dylan
[03:39.88]
[03:40.76] Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
[03:43.07]
[03:44.70] When everybody loves you, son,
[03:47.32]
[03:48.51] that's just about as funky as you can be
[03:50.63]
[03:52.20] Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
[03:55.93]
[03:57.87] When I look at the television,
[03:59.24]
[04:00.55] I want to see me staring right back at me
[04:04.55]
[04:05.24] We all want to be big stars,
[04:06.92]
[04:08.18] but we don't know why and we don't know how
[04:11.11] But when everybody loves me,
[04:13.18]
[04:14.50] I'm going to be just about as happy as can be
[04:17.93]
[04:19.24] Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars..
