Mr. Jones
February 2000
He’s down at the New Amsterdam,
strumming an A minor chord on strings of cold steel,
watching flamenco dancers
dance to songs so old. He’s
strumming an A minor chord on strings of cold steel,
he tells Maria to never stop being Spanish, and
dance to songs so old. He
drinks a swig from the bottle.
He tells Maria to never stop being Spanish, and
while he watches all the beautiful women,
he drinks a swig from the bottle,
in gray, his favorite color.
While he watches all the beautiful women,
dancing their Spanish dances
in gray, his favorite color
guitar, he plays euphorically,
dancing their Spanish dances.
He wants to sing about his
guitar, he plays euphorically.
He knows he wants to be a big star, especially when
he wants to sing about his
watching flamenco dancers.
He knows he wants to be a big star, especially when
he’s down at the New Amsterdam.
