[00:06.10]Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la
[00:10.28]Mmm
[00:11.78]Uh huh
[00:13.65]I was down at the New Amsterdam
[00:18.14]Staring at this yellow-haired girl
[00:20.89]Mr Jones strikes up a conversation
[00:24.04]With a black-haired flamenco dancer
[00:27.71]You know, she dances while his father plays guitar
[00:32.09]She's suddenly beautiful
[00:34.35]We all want something beautiful
[00:38.22]Man, I wish I was beautiful
[00:40.92]So come dance the silence down through the morning
[00:45.74]Sha la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[00:48.58]Yeah
[00:50.14]Uh huh
[00:53.38]Yeah
[00:55.34]Cut up, Maria!
[00:58.34]Show me some of that Spanish dancin'
[01:01.89]Pass me a bottle, Mr Jones
[01:08.89]Believe in me
[01:12.05]Help me believe in anything
[01:14.94]'Cause I want to be someone who believes
[01:20.31]Yeah
[01:22.53]Mr Jones and me
[01:25.76]Tell each other fairy tales
[01:28.65]And we stare at the beautiful women
[01:31.75]She's looking at you
[01:33.60]Ah, no, no, she's looking at me
[01:36.06]Smilin' in the bright lights
[01:39.10]Coming through in stereo
[01:42.29]When everybody loves you
[01:46.16]You can never be lonely
[01:49.18]Well, I'm gonna paint my picture
[01:52.87]Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
[01:56.32]All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
[02:01.52]Yeah, well, you know grey is my favorite color
[02:05.47]I felt so symbolic yesterday
[02:10.06]If I knew Picasso
[02:12.44]I would buy myself a grey guitar and play
[02:16.87]Mr Jones and me
[02:20.01]Look into the future
[02:22.76]Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
[02:26.08]She's looking at you
[02:27.86]I don't think so
[02:28.95]She's looking at me
[02:30.33]Standing in the spotlight
[02:33.34]I bought myself a grey guitar
[02:36.30]When everybody loves me
[02:40.38]I will never be lonely
[02:45.74]I will never be lonely
[02:48.99]Said I'm never gonna be
[02:52.13]Lonely
[02:57.18]I wanna be a lion
[03:00.11]Yeah, everybody wants to pass as cats
[03:04.36]We all wanna be big, big stars
[03:06.95]Yeah, but we got different reasons for that
[03:10.96]Believe in me
[03:13.52]'Cause I don't believe in anything
[03:16.45]And I wanna be someone to believe
[03:21.03]To believe, to believe
[03:23.62]Yeah!
[03:24.64]Mr Jones and me
[03:27.80]Stumbling through the Barrio
[03:30.50]Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
[03:33.41]She's perfect for you
[03:35.72]Man, there's got to be somebody for me
[03:38.13]I wanna be Bob Dylan
[03:40.49]Mr Jones wishes he was someone
[03:42.98]Just a little more funky
[03:44.67]When everybody love you
[03:47.35]Oh! Son, that's just about as funky as you can be
[03:51.40]Mr Jones and me
[03:54.73]Starin' at the video
[03:57.64]When I look at the television, I wanna see me
[04:02.66]Staring right back at me
[04:05.19]We all wanna be big stars
[04:07.68]But we don't know why, and we don't know how
[04:11.30]But when everybody loves me
[04:14.79]I wanna be just about as happy as I can be
[04:18.67]Mr Jones and me
[04:22.05]We're gonna be big stars
