If Bukowski was good looking

And Napoleon was tall

If Joan of Arc just took her meds

She'd be a movie star

If up was down and down was up

Imagine where we'd be

The New York Dolls would still be here

Music would be free

And I'd be high, as high as Johnny Thunders

In the land that time forgot

High as Johnny Thunders

Well, if Romeo and Juliet had a couple kids

Shakespeare would be on the dole and I'd be President

I'd sit there with my feet up, all hours of the night

I'll be talking to my baby, I'd say baby. lets not fight

And I'd be high, as high as Johnny Thunders

In the land that time forgot

High as Johnny Thunders


[Sax and Guitar Solos]

And if families stayed together

I'd have a window seat

And all the children of the world

Would have enough to eat

If heartbreak was a virtue

Man, I'd be so virtuous

To get back in your pants

I might hijack a city bus

And I'd be high, as high as Johnny Thunders

In the land that time forgot

High as Johnny Thunders
