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
