Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't need your name in bright lights
You're a rockstar
And some tin foil with a glass pipe
Is your guitar now, yes, it is
Little Angela suffers delusions
From these high times
She's been cleaning up since fourteen
On the main line
And her hunky, funky junky
Of a boyfriend
Got her on late nights with her skirt tight
Whoa, she's a wild thing
Oh, letting it all swing
God bless our high times
[Chorus]
Don't you know that last night turned to daylight
And a minute became a day
Last night, all my troubles
Well, they seemed so, so far away
Oh, and I'm searching my reflection
For a glimpse of another me
I've got to get away from all these high times
'Cause these high times are killing me
[Refrain]
Now high times go on and on and on
High times to rock your mind, yeah
[Verse 2]
This twisted crystal kingdom
Where you live your nine lives
And your head spins with purple cyclones
Made of Dexedrine
Gimme some of that
And when the phone rings, you think bad things
Well, these are high, high, high, high times, yeah
In any backstreet, when you take a hot seat
Make sure you check your flight times
Whoa, now, mama
[Chorus]
Last night turned to daylight
And a minute became a day
Last night, all my troubles
Well, they seemed so, so far away
Oh, searching my reflection
For a glimpse of another me
I've got to get away from all these high times
'Cause these high times are killing me
[Refrain]
Now, on and on and on and on and on
High times to rock your mind
[Refrain]
Now, drop it this time
[Bridge]
Paranoia will destroy ya
Paranoia will destroy ya
Paranoia will destroy ya
Paranoia
Paranoia
This time
[Chorus]
Last night turned to daylight
And a minute became a day
Last night, all my troubles
Well, they seemed so, so far away
Searching my reflection
For a glimpse of another me
I've got to get away from all these high times
Whoa, 'cause they sure are killing me
Whoa
[Refrain]
La-la-la-la-la-la
High times
Oh, yeah
Ooh, we're living in high, high times, yeah
[Verse 3]
Last night turned to daylight
And a moment half a world away
Time can be so precious
When you throw your life away
Oh
[Bridge]
I can't help living it up
Letting it all go wrong
I can't believe in these white lines
Knowing my life has gone
[Outro]
Kids wanna give it up
Kids wanna give it up
Time to let your mind be free
Searching for eternity
Kids wanna give it up
Kids wanna give it up
Time to let your mind be free
Searching for eternity
Kids wanna give it up
Kids wanna give it up
Time to let your mind be free
Searching for eternity
Kids wanna give it up
Kids wanna give it up
Yeah, oh, alright
