Tune: "Mister Jones" by Counting Crows

I was down at the old Zocalo staring at this telepath girl
Marcus Cole strikes up a conversation with a Russian space commander
She's laughing while he's pouring out his heart
She's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
(Zathras wish he were beautiful)

So come dance with Shadows with the Minbari
Cut up, Lennier! Show me some Minbari dancing
And pass me a bottle, Marcus Cole
Believe in me
Help me believe in prophecy
'Cause I wanna be someone who believes

Marcus Cole and me tell each othe fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful women
":She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me.":
Smiling in the bright light
Coming through the Zocalo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

I will paint my White Star
Paint the ship in purple, black, and white and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Gray is my favorite color
Just felt so symbolic yesterday
If I could meet Valen
I would buy myself a gray great-robe and pray

Marcus Cole and me travel to the future
Where we stare at the beautiful women
":She's looking at you.
Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me.":
Standing in the spotlight
I love to fly a gray White Star
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

I want to be a Ranger
Everybody wants a telepath
We all want to fly big White Stars, but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me, 'cause I don't beleive what Bester says
And I want to be someone to believe

Marcus Cole and me stumbling through the Zocalo
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
"She's perfect for you. Man, there's this cute little Minbari for me."
I want to be Steve Franklin
Marcus Cole wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, Garibaldi, you're just about as funky as you can be

Marcus Cole and me staring at the video
When I look at the ISN news I wanna see me staring right back at me
We want to fly White Stars. We know what we want. We know who we are.
But when everybody loves me, I'm gonna be just about as happy as I can be
Marcus Cole and me, we're gonna fly White Stars...
