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 (2)__________________ beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
So (3)________ dance (4)________ silence down through the mornin'
(Sha la la la la la la la yeah.. uh huh, yeah...)
Cut up, Maria!
Show me (5)________ of that Spanish dancin'
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me (6)______________ in anything
'Cause I (7)__________ be someone
Who believes, yeah...
Mr. Jones and me
Tell each other (8)__________ tales and we
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's (9)______________ at you. Ah, no, no, she's (10)______________ at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can never be lonely
Well, I'm gonna paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful (11)____________ are very very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color
I (12)________ so symbolic yesterday
If I (13)________ Picasso
I would buy myself a (14)________ guitar and play
Mr. (15)__________ and me (16)________ (17)________ the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
"She's (18)______________ at you. I don't (19)__________ so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a (20)________ guitar
When everybody loves me
I'll never be lonely
I'll never be lonely
Son, I'm never gonna be LONELY
I (21)__________ 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 believe 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 beautiful women
"She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. (22)__________ wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you
Oh, son, that's just' bout as funky as you can be
Mr. (23)__________ 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 know why
And we don't know how
But when everybody (24)__________ me
I'll be just' bout as happy as I could be
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars
