High as Johnny Thunders
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 would be
The New York Dolls would still be here
Music would be free
I'd be High
As High as Johnny Thunders
In the land of time forgotten
High As Johnny Thunders
Well, if Romeo and Juliet had a couple kids
Shakespeare would be at the Dome and I'd be President
I'd sit there with my feeder, all hours of the night
I'd be talking to my baby, I've said Baby let's not fight
I'd be High
As High as Johnny Thunders
In the land of time forgotten
High As Johnny Thunders
And if family stay 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'm a hijacker sitting first
I'd be High
As High as Johnny Thunders
In the land of time forgotten
High As Johnny Thunders
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 would be
The New York Dolls would still be here
Music would be free
I'd be High
As High as Johnny Thunders
In the land of time forgotten
High As Johnny Thunders
Well, if Romeo and Juliet had a couple kids
Shakespeare would be at the Dome and I'd be President
I'd sit there with my feeder, all hours of the night
I'd be talking to my baby, I've said Baby let's not fight
I'd be High
As High as Johnny Thunders
In the land of time forgotten
High As Johnny Thunders
And if family stay 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'm a hijacker sitting first
I'd be High
As High as Johnny Thunders
In the land of time forgotten
High As Johnny Thunders
