When I Paint My Masterpiece - Demo

Lyrics

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
 Aged footprints are everywhere
 You can almost think that you're seein' double
 On a cold, dark night by the Spanish Stairs
 Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
 Where I've got me a date with pretty little girl from Greece
 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
 Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em
 It sure has been a long hard climb
 Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
 When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
 Someday, everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody
 When I paint my masterpiece
 ♪
 Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola
 Sure wish I hadn't sold my old Victrola
 Ain't nothing like to that good old rock 'n' roll
 I left Rome and pulled into Brussels
 On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
 Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles
 Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
 Newspapermen eating candy
 Had to be held down by big police
 Someday, everything is gonna be different
 When I paint my masterpiece
