When I Paint My Masterpiece (Bob Dylan)

Lyrics

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
Well, you could almost thing that you're seeing double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs

Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I got me a date with Botticelli's niece
She promised she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece

Oh, the hours were spent inside the Colosseum
Dodging lions, yes, and wasting time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I can hardle stand to see them
Well, it sure has been a long, hard ride

Training wheels roll through the back of my memory
Where I ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, life'll be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

Sail around the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be in the land of Coca-Cola

Well, I left Rome, and I landed in Brussels
On a flight so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergy men in uniform, young girls pullin muscles
Well, it sure has been a long, hard ride

Newspaper men eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Some day everything's gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
Some day everything's gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
When I paint my masterpiece
