[00:14.36] I was down at the New Amsterdam
[00:18.05] staring at this yellow-haired girl
[00:20.93] Jones strikes Mr. up a conversation
[00:23.65] with this black-haired flamenco dancer
[00:27.41] She dances while his father plays guitar
[00:32.02] She's suddenly beautiful
[00:33.96] We all want something beautiful
[00:38.12] I wish I was beautiful
[00:39.62]
[00:40.58] So come dance this silence down through the morning
[00:45.57]
[00:55.13] Cut Maria!
[00:58.25] Show me some of them Spanish dances
[01:01.99] Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
[01:08.67] Believe in me
[01:11.85] Help me believe in anything
[01:14.53] Because I want to be someone who believes
[01:22.17] Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
[01:28.62] Stare at the beautiful women
[01:31.30] "She's looking at you.
[01:33.17] Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
[01:35.48] Smiling in the bright lights
[01:38.29]
[01:38.99] Coming through in stereo
[01:41.79] When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
[01:48.53] I will paint my picture
[01:52.15] Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
[01:56.08] All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
[02:01.20] Gray is my favorite color
[02:04.96] I felt so symbolic yesterday
[02:09.76] If I knew Picasso
[02:12.07] I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
[02:16.69] Mr. Jones and me look into the future
[02:22.85] Stare at the beautiful women
[02:25.59] "She's looking at you.
[02:27.47] Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me."
[02:29.96] Standing in the spotlight
[02:30.90]
[02:33.25] I bought myself a gray guitar
[02:36.00] When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
[02:45.42]
[02:57.12] I want to be a lion
[03:00.18] Everybody wants to pass as cats
[03:04.05] We all want to be big big stars,
[03:06.73] but we got different reasons for that
[03:10.85] Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
[03:16.56] and I want to be someone to believe
[03:24.31] Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
[03:30.22] Yeah we star at the beautiful women
[03:33.40] "She's perfect for you,
[03:35.15] Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
[03:37.27] I want to be Bob Dylan
[03:40.20] Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
[03:44.13] When everybody loves you, son,
[03:48.38] that's just about as funky as you can be
[03:51.18] Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
[03:57.24] When I look at the television,
[04:00.43] I want to see me staring right back at me
[04:04.90] We all want to be big stars,
[04:07.52] but we don't know why and we don't know how
[04:10.83] But when everybody loves me,
[04:14.14] I'm going to be just about as happy as can be
[04:18.60] Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars..
