Counting Crows - Mr Jones Across A Wire Lyrics

Mr Jones (Across A Wire) Song Lyrics
Mr Jones (Across A Wire) by Counting Crows Sha la la la la la la - uh huh
I was down up in 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
And we all want something beautiful
And I wish I was beautiful-la la la la

So come dance the silenced dance through the morning
Sha - la la la la l al la la yeah uh huh
Aw, come up Maria
C’mon
Show me some of them Spanish dances
And pass me a bottle Mr Jones
Believe in me
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"
Smiling through the bright light
Comin' through in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can never be lonely

I wanna paint myself a picture
I wanna paint myself in blue and red and black and grey
All the beautiful colours are very very meaningful
Yeah, well you know grey is my favorite color,
I felt so symbolic yesterday
But if I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a grey guitar
And play

Mr Jones and me
Look into the future
Yeah, 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
When everybody loves me
I will never be lonely, I will never be lonely
Said I am never going to be lonely

I wanna be a lion
Eh, Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big big stars
Yeah but then we got different reasons for that
Believe in me
Cause i dont believe in anything
And I wanna be someone to believe, to belive, to believe, yeag

Mr Jones and me, stumbling through the barrio
Yeah, We stare at all the beautiful women
"She’s perfect for you
And 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
Oh son, its just as funky as you can be,

Mr Jones and me, starin at the video
When I look at the television,
I wanna see me, starin back at me
We all wanna be big stars,
And we dont know why, and we dont know how
When everybody loves me,
I wanna be just about as happy as I can be

Mr. jones and me, we're gonna be big stars
