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