I had the fortunate of interviewing Ian Anderson for more than an hour (about two years ago). He brought up this song and said that he was naive in using the line "Flying so high". He didn't mean for it to have a drug reference. He stated (quite seriously, without any sense of irony) that he has never smoked dope or used illegal drugs.
