Thought I might get a rocket ride
When I was a child but it was a lie
That I told myself when I needed something good
At seventeen, had a better dream
Now I'm thirty-three and it isn't me
But I'd think of something better if I could
All my friends and lovers leave me behind
And I'm still looking for a girl
One way or another
I'm just hoping to find a way
To put my feet out in the world
Caught some grief from a falling leaf
As she tumbled down to the dirty ground
Said I should have put her back there if I could
But everyone needs a better day
And I'm trying to find me a better way
To get from the things I do to the things I should
All my friends and lovers leave me alone
To try to have a little fun
One way or another I just wish I had known
To go out walking in the sun
And find out if you were the one
Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?
And did you wanna dance with me?
Did you wanna hum a little harder now?
Can you see her waiting there?
Can you see her? because I'm almost there
Can you see her waiting there for someone like me?
All you want is a beauty queen
Not a superstar but everybody's dream machine
All you want is a place to lay your head
You go to sleep dreaming how you would
Be a different kind if you thought you could
But you come awake the way you are instead
All my friends and lovers shine like the sun
I just turn and walk away
One way or another I'm not coming undone
I'm just waiting for the day
All my friends
All my friends

Well, i even like Mr. Jones, it makes me happy :) , and i also like the sound of the voice of the leadsinger.
What do you mean by 'commercial'? Is that necessarily a bad thing?
The weakest (and whiniest) song from an otherwise great album. I have no idea why this was chosen to be released as a single rather than \"4 Days\" or \"I Wish I Was a Girl.\"
Yet another whiny song. 
Adam Duritz always sounds to me like David Bromberg without any of the fun. I can listen to Bromberg, but Duritz makes me want to try tearing my ears off my head.

Well, maybe a little.... 
Pretty funny!! Unfortunately, I need a good stiff drink to tolerate the Crows, and there is precious little liquor here at the office.

I was supprised. This is a listenable piece of music. :)
