When I Paint My Masterpiece (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - October 1992) - The Band

作词：Bob Dylan

作曲：Bob Dylan

Oh the streets of rome

Are filled with rubble

Ancient footprints

Are everywhere

You can almost think

That your 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

But someday everything's

gonna be different

When I paint

That masterpiece

someday everything's

gonna be different

When I paint

That masterpiece
