[00:05.25] Shalalala la la la

[00:08.08] .

[00:10.34] Uh huh

[00:13.80] I was down at the New Amsterdam

[00:17.30] Staring at this yellow-haired girl

[00:19.58] Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation

[00:23.30] With a black-haired flamenco dancer

[00:26.39] You know she dances while his father plays guitar

[00:31.02] She's suddenly beautiful

[00:33.33] And we all want something beautiful

[00:37.34] Man, I wish I was beautiful

[00:40.13] So come dance this silence down through the morning

[00:45.18] Shalalala la la la la, yeah

[00:50.90] Uh huh, yeah

[00:54.62] Cut up, Maria!

[00:57.92] Show me some of them Spanish dances

[01:00.84] And pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

[01:08.18] Believe in me, help me believe in anything

[01:13.76] 'Cause I wanna be someone who believes, yeah

[01:21.74] Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales

[01:27.59] And we stare at the beautiful women

[01:30.66] "She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me"

[01:35.05] Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo

[01:41.20] When everybody loves you

[01:45.17] You can never be lonely

[01:47.84] Well, I'm gonna paint my picture

[01:51.99] Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

[01:55.45] All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful

[02:00.37] Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color

[02:04.22] I felt so symbolic yesterday

[02:09.01] If I knew Picasso

[02:11.56] I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

[02:15.85] Mr. Jones and me look into the future

[02:21.69] Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women

[02:22.48] "She's looking at you, I don't think so. She's looking at me"

[02:29.38] Standing in the spotlight, I bought myself a gray guitar

[02:35.36] When everybody loves me

[02:39.47] I will never be lonely

[02:44.67] I will never be lonely

[02:48.02] Said I'm never gonna be lonely

[02:56.52] I wanna be a lion

[02:59.45] Yeah, everybody wants to pass as cats

[03:03.17] We all wanna be big, big stars, yeah

[03:06.06] But we got different reasons for that

[03:10.19] Believe in me, 'cause I don't believe in anything

[03:16.03] And I, I wanna be someone to believe

[03:20.16] To believe, to believe, yeah!

[03:23.61] Mr. Jones and me, stumbling through the barrio

[03:29.47] Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women

[03:32.81] "She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."

[03:36.92] I wanna be Bob Dylan

[03:39.73] Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

[03:43.46] When everybody loves you, ah son

[03:47.26] That's just about as funky as you can be

[03:50.85] Mr. Jones and me, staring at the video

[03:56.43] When I look at the television, I wanna see me

[04:01.91] Staring right back at me

[04:04.03] We all wanna be big stars

[04:06.70] But we don't know why, and we don't know how

[04:10.30] But when everybody loves me

[04:13.75] I wanna be just about as happy as I can be

[04:18.01] Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars
