High Times – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You don't need your name in bright lights, you're a rock star

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 cleanin' up since 14 on the main line

And her hunky, funky, junky of a boyfriend

Got her on late nights with her skirt tight

Oh, she's a wild thing, oh, letting it all swing

God, bless our high times

Don't you know that last night (last night), turned to daylight?

And a minute became a day

Last night (last night), all my troubles, well, they seemed so, so far away

Oh, now, searchin' my reflection for a glimpse of another me

I've got to get away from these high times

'Cause these high times are killin' me

C'mon, high times

Now, high times go on, and on, and on

High times rock your mind, yeah

This twisted crystal kingdom where you live your nine lives

And your head spins purple cyclones made of dexadrine

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, oh, now, mama

Last night (last night), turned to daylight and a minute became a day

Last night (last night), all my troubles, well, they seemed so, so far away

Oh, searchin' my reflection for a glimpse of another me

I've got to get away from all these high times

'Cause these high times are killin' me

Last night

Last night

Last night (last night), turned to daylight and in a moment we've forgot the way

Time can be so precious when you throw your life away

Oh, I can't help livin' it up, lettin' it all go wrong

I can't be living these white lies, knowin' my life has gone

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 (whoa), 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

Now high times go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
