When I Paint My Masterpiece (The Voice Performance) Lyrics

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

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, the hours we spent, inside the Coliseum.
Dodging lions, and a-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 a-running thru the back of my memory,
When I ran on a 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 mussels,
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside,
Newspaper men eating candy,
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, its gonna be different,
When I paint my masterpiece
When I paint my masterpiece
When I paint my masterpiece
