Heroin - Lou Reed



I don't know just where I'm going

But I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can

'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man

When I put a spike into my vein

Then I tell you things aren't quite the same



When I'm rushing on my run

And I feel just like Jesus' son

And I guess I just don't know

And I guess that I just don't know



I have made very big decision

I'm goin' to try to nullify my life

'Cause when the blood begins to flow

When it shoots up the dropper's neck

When I'm closing in on death



You can't help me not you guys

All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk

You can all go take a walk

And I guess I just don't know

And I guess I just don't know



I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas

On a great big clipper ship

Going from this land here to that

I put on a sailor's suit and cap



Away from the big city

Where a man cannot be free

Of all the evils in this town

And of himself and those around

Oh, and I guess I just don't know

Oh, and I guess I just don't know



Heroin, be the death of me

Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life

Because a mainer to my vein

Leads to a center in my head

And then I'm better off than dead



When the smack begins to flow

Then I really don't care anymore

About all the Jim-Jims in this town

And everybody putting everybody else down

And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds

All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah



Wow, that heroin is in my blood

And the blood is in my head

Yeah, the God's good as dead

Ooohhh, God that I'm not aware

I just don't
