While the streets are rolled
and filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that
you're seeing double
On a cold, dark night on
a Spanish stair
Gotta 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, hours I spend inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wasting time
With those mighty kings of the jungle
I can barely see them
Yes, it shows me that I'm all hard -butt
Train wheels run through
the back of my memory
When I ran on a hilltop
all the way to Pack of Wild Geese
Someday it's gonna be like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
Sailin' round the world in
a dirty condo
Won't you be back in the land of Arizona?
I left home and I landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy
that I almost cried
Merging men in uniform
and young girls pulling muscles
Everyone was there to greet me
when I stepped inside
Newspaper men were eating candy
Better be held down by the big police
Well, someday everything's
gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
Tell ya, someday it's
gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
