Mr. Jones by Counting Crows

(Sha la la la la la la..... hmm, uh huh...)
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired
Flamenco dancer
She (1)____________ while his father plays
Guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this 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 Spanish dancin'
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I (2)__________ be someone
Who believes, yeah...
Mr. Jones and me
Tell each (3)__________ (4)__________ (5)__________ and we
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's (6)______________ 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 never be lonely
Well, I'm (8)__________ paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful (9)____________ are very (10)________ meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a (11)________ guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me look (12)________ 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 (13)____________ a (14)________ guitar
When everybody loves me
I'll (15)__________ be lonely
I'll never be lonely
Son, I'm never gonna be LONELY
I wanna be a lion
E-Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big big stars, yeah, but
We've got different reasons for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't (16)______________ in anything
And I, I wanna be someone
To believe, to believe, to believe, yeah
Mr. Jones and me
Stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the (17)__________________ women
"She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones (18)____________ he was someone just a little (19)________ funky
When (20)__________________ loves you
Oh, son, that's just' (21)________ as funky as you can be
Mr. Jones and me
Staring at the video
When I look at the television
I (22)__________ see me (23)______________ (24)__________ (25)________ 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
I'll be just' (28)________ as (29)__________ as I could be
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars
