  S1:
  Was down at the New Amsterdam 

  Staring at this yellow-haired girl 

  Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation 

  With a black-haired flamenco dancer 

  You know, she dances while his father plays guitar 

  She's suddenly beautiful 

  We all want something beautiful 

  Man, I wish I was beautiful

  Mr. Jones and me 

  Tell each other fairy tales 

  And we stare at the beautiful women

  Smilin' in the bright lights 

  Coming through in stereo 

  When everybody loves you 

  You can never be lonely

  Well, I'm gon' paint my picture 

  Paint myself in blue, red, black and gray 

  All of the beautiful colors

  Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color 

  I felt so symbolic yesterday 

  If I knew Picasso 

  I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

  And I wanna be someone to believe 

  To believe, to believe, yeah

  Mr. Jones and me 

  Starin' at the video 

  When I look at the television 

  I wanna see me, staring right back at me

  But when everybody loves me 

  I wanna be just about as happy as I can be
