Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble |
|
Ancient footprints are everywhere |
|
Well you could almost think that you're seein' double |
|
On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs |
|
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room |
|
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece |
|
She promised, she'd be right there with me |
|
When I paint my masterpiece |
|
Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum |
|
Dodging lions and wastin' time |
|
Those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em |
|
Well, it sure has been a long hard climb |
|
The train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory |
|
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese |
|
Someday, life will be sweet like a rhapsody |
|
When I paint my masterpiece |
|
So I left Rome and I landed in Brussels |
|
On a plane so bumpy that I almost cried |
|
Clergymen in uniform, yes and young girl pullin' muscles |
|
Well, it should have been a long hard ride |
|
Newspapermen eating candy |
|
Had to be held down by big police |
|
Someday, everything is gonna be different |
|
When I paint my masterpiece, that's right |
|
Someday, everything is gonna be different |
|
When I paint my masterpiece |
|
When I paint my masterpiece |
