Mr. Jones by Counting Crows
(Sha la la la la la la..... hmm, uh huh...)
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at (1)________ yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired
Flamenco dancer
She (2)____________ while his father plays
Guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
So come (3)__________ (4)________ silence down through the mornin'
(Sha la la la la la la la yeah.. uh huh, yeah...)
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of that (5)______________ dancin'
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I (6)__________ 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. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody (7)__________ you
You can (8)__________ be lonely
Well, I'm gonna paint my picture
Paint (9)____________ in (10)________ and red and (11)__________ and gray
All of the beautiful (12)____________ are very very meaningful
Yeah, well, you (13)________ gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I (14)________ Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. (15)__________ and me look (16)________ the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. I don't think so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a (17)________ guitar
When everybody loves me
I'll never be lonely
I'll (18)__________ be lonely
Son, I'm never gonna be LONELY
I (19)__________ be a lion
E-Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big big stars, yeah, but
We've got different (20)______________ for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't (21)______________ in anything
And I, I wanna be someone
To believe, to believe, to believe, yeah
Mr. (22)__________ and me
Stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
"She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. (23)__________ wishes he was someone (24)________ a little more funky
When everybody loves you
Oh, son, that's just' bout as funky as you can be
Mr. (25)__________ and me
Staring at the video
When I look at the television
I wanna see me staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't (26)________ why
And we don't know how
But when everybody (27)__________ me
