when i paint my masterpiece

• bob dylan in enteresan bir $ekilde ilk kez greatest hits albumuyle duyurdugu $arki. sozlerini de yazayim tam olsun:
  
  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 botticelli's niece.
  she promised that she'd be right there with me
  when i paint my masterpiece.
  
  oh, the hours i've spent inside the coliseum,
  dodging lions and 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,
  when i ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
  someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
  when i paint my masterpiece.
  
  sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola.
  oh, to be back in the land of coca-cola!
  
  i left rome and landed in brussels,
  on a plane ride so bumpy that i almost cried.
  clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles,
  everyone was there to greet me when i stepped inside.
  newspapermen eating candy
  had to be held down by big police.
  someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
  when i paint my masterpiece.
