When I Paint My Masterpiece (Live at Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ, June 17, 1991) The Grateful Dead

[Verse 1]
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
Well, you could almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs

[Chorus 1]
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece
She promised she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Colosseum
Dodging lions, yes, and wastin' timе
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle
I could hardly stand to see 'еm
Where it sure has been a long hard climb

[Chorus 2]
Train wheels rollin' through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
And someday, life will be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
