grateful - when i paint my masterpiece (live at knickerbocker arena, albany, ny, march 1990) lyrics
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 runnin’ thru the back of my memory,
when i ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody,
when i paint my masterpiece.
sailin’ ’round the world in a dirty gondola,
oh, to be back in the land of coca-cola!
i left rome and landed in brussels,
on a plane ride so b-mpy 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 diff’rent
when i paint my masterpiece.
