all my heroes were junkies - ellis paul lyrics
in 1968, he did shots with the doors at the whiskey-a-go-go
it was on one of those hot hollywood summer nights
he says, “jimmy came in tight leather slacks, it was hot as h-ll
but we were drinking jack, his eyes were like quarters
round, and black when he stepped under the stage lights…”
“and you know me,” he says, “i had p-wned my only camera
i had no way to record these fleeting kodak moments
that sprung to life each and every sat-rday night
i was too far gone back then to have known it…”
chorus:
he says, “all my heroes were junkies,
now all my heroes are dead
i say, “hey tony, consider yourself lucky
to be a junkie in a hospital bed”
he says, “you know judy garland never showed up when i took my walk in the land of oz
though a cop did on a purple horse one morning
he asked me why i was staggering
i said, `because – because, because, because
the wizard never gave me no surgeon general’s warning”
chorus
bridge:
“who rolled the joint when bob dylan
got high with the beatles? ” he says,
“who put my world on pins and needles? ”
he tells the nurses they should do something
with the ceiling in the rehab ward
like paint a fresco to the late-great betty ford
they come in and make their jokes about
pulling out all his power chords
he tells them, “could you come up with
something i didn’t already know? ”
chorus
