Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
|
|
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
|
|
You can 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 that 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,
|
|
Yes, it sure has been a long hard climb.
|
|
|
Train wheels rolling thru 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.
|
|
|
Solo Break
|
|
|
Well I left rome and landed in Brussels,
|
|
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried.
|
|
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin’ muscles,
|
|
Well it sure has been a long hard ride
|
|
|
Newspapermen eating candy
|
|
Had to be held down by big police.
|
|
Someday, everything is gonna’ be diff’rent
|
|
When I paint my masterpiece.
|
|
Someday, everything is gonna’ be diff’rent
|
|
When I paint my masterpiece.
