I think the comments are generally right. A dude that is just an overall happy dude that just running around the city having fun. Based on the height references, he's probably indulging in some drugs.
He stole the narrator's girl probably she was interested in his drugs (Flying around New York City so high, Like he was my baby").
The narrator is concerned with his lost girlfriend, but it doesn't sound like he necessarily hates Jet Boy for it. Idk if he is as interested in drugs as Jet Boy and his girlfriend though. I get the feeling he is relatively clean. The "endangered charms" stanza seems to be him saying that they are trying to have fun without drugs. Also "when I first game around this dump, I knew I couldn't stay" might be him saying he can't stand the drug culture of the Jet Boys despite the good time they are having.
@hornytheclown Not exactly a girl, the New York Dolls were more into guys back then.
"Endangered charms" are most probably some drugs too.

New York Dolls were notable junkies, of the sort that really like it They were known for stopping a gig just because they got too high and hide behind the speakers to throw up.

They definitely could stand the drug culture, they actually enjoyed it with gusto.
