When I paint my masterpiece
When I paint my masterpiece
She promised, she'd be there with me
Had to be held down by big police
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard drive
Train wheels are running through the back of my memory
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Well, I left Rome, and landed in Brussels
On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room
Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody
Where I got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece
Clergy men in uniform and young girls pulling mussels
When I ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, the hours we spent inside the Coliseum
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em
But someday every thing's gonna be different
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola
Newspaper man eating candy
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
You can almost think that you're seeing double
