Greatest Hits Vol. 2 sessions, Blue Rock Studios, NYC - 16-19.mar.1971 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 Boticelli's niece (or Venus) She promised that she'd be right there with me When i paint my masterpiece. Oh the hours that i spent inside the coliseum Dodgin' lions an' 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' through the back of my memory As the daylight hours do increase Someday everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody When i paint my masterpiece. I left Rome and landed in Brussels With a picture of a tall oak tree by my side Clergymen in uniform an' young girls pullin' muscles Everyone was there but nobody tried to hide Newspapermen eatin' candy Had to be held down by big police Someday everything's gonna be different When i paint my masterpiece. |

Greatest Hits Vol. 2 sessions, Blue Rock Studios, NYC - 16-19.mar.1971 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 by 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 right there with me When i paint my masterpiece. Oh the hours i spent inside the coliseum Dodgin' lions an' 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' thru the back of my memory When i ran on the hilltop followin' a pack of wild geese Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody When i paint my masterpiece. Sailin' around the world in a dirty gondola Sure wish i hadn't sold my old victrola Ain't nothin' like that good old rock 'n' rolla. I left Rome an' pulled into Brussels On a plane ride so bumpy that i almost cried Clergymen in uniform an' young girls pullin' muscles Everyone was there to greet me when i stepped inside. Newspapermen eatin' candy Had to be held down by big police Someday everything is gonna be different When i paint that masterpiece. |

Shadow Kingdom recording sessions, Santa Monica CA - May 2021 Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble Ancient footprints are everywhere You can almost think that youÕre seeinÕ double On a cold dark night by the Spanish stairs Got to hurry on back to my hotel room Gonna wash my clothes, scrape off all of the grease Gonna lock the doors and turn my back on the world for a while Gonna stay right there Õtil I paint my masterpiece. Well, the hours IÕve spent inside the Coliseum Dodging lions with a mean and a hungry look Those mighty kings of the jungle, I can hardly stand to see Õem I can see Õem comin', I could read their faces like a book Train wheels running through the back of my memory When I ran on the hilltop followin' a pack of wild geese Someday, everythingÕs goin' to be different When I paint, when I paint my masterpiece. SailinÕ around the world full of crimson and clover Sometime I feel like my cup is a runnin' over I left Rome and I pulled into Brussels On a plane ride so bumpy that it made me ill Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullinÕ muscles Everyone was there to meet me cominÕ down the hill Newspaper men eatin' candy had to be held back by big police Someday everythingÕs gonna be beautiful When I paint my masterpiece. |
