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 (2)________ something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence down (3)______________ the mornin'
(Sha la la la la la la la yeah.. uh huh, yeah...)
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of (4)________ Spanish dancin'
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone
Who believes, yeah...
Mr. Jones and me
Tell each other fairy tales and we
Stare at the (5)__________________ women
"She's (6)______________ at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When (7)__________________ (8)__________ 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 (9)__________________ (10)____________ are (11)________ very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color
I felt so (12)________________ yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me look (13)________ 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 gray guitar
When everybody loves me
I'll never be lonely
I'll never be lonely
Son, I'm never gonna be LONELY
I (14)__________ 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 (15)______________ in anything
And I, I (16)__________ be someone
To believe, to believe, to believe, yeah
Mr. (17)__________ 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 (18)__________ be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones (19)____________ he was (20)______________ just a little more funky
When everybody (21)__________ you
Oh, son, that's just' bout as funky as you can be
Mr. (22)__________ and me
Staring at the video
When I look at the television
I wanna see me (23)______________ (24)__________ back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't (25)________ why
And we don't know how
But when (26)__________________ (27)__________ me
I'll be just' bout as happy as I could be
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars
