Like the song, love the album. A real lost classic in the tull catalog.
I was thinking the song was about drugs more than traveling. .."flying to high" etc.
I know Ian Anderson was more of a boozer back then and I believe he was not involved with drugs at all. But that wouldn't necessarily stop him from writing about the subject that most of his listeners were knee deep in.
"Closing my dreams, inside this paper bag" was always about sniffing glue. A truly degenerate way to get high. The guy in the song almost soinds like Aqualung a few years before he totally crashes out.
