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 hell 
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 pawned my only camera 
I had no way to record these fleeting Kodak moments 
That sprung to life each and every Saturday 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?"
