When I Paint My Masterpiece

Had to be held down by big police

On a cold, dark night on the Spanish stairs
Oh, the hours that I've spent inside the Coliseum
I left Rome and landed in Brussels

Everyone was there but nobody tried to hide
As the daylight I was new tree
Where I've got me a date with Botticellis niece
When I paint my masterpiece

Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
When I paint my masterpiece
Someday, everything is gonna be different
You can almost think that you're seein' double
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' turtles
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em
She promised that she'd be right there with me
Where they picture of tall up tree by my side
Newspapermen eating candy

Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb
Dodging lions and wastin' time
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
