Lyrics
"Heroin" Wor - uh - [Laughing] Words, music and lyrics by Lou Reed I know just where I'm goin' I'm gonna to try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause you know it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put the spike into my vein Then you know that things aren't quite the same When I'm rushin' from my run And I feel like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I have made big decisions I'm going to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it squirts up the dropper's necks Then the smack goes right into my blood When I'm closing in on death And my head begins to grow You can't help me, not you girls All you guys with all your talk You can all go take a walk And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I wish that I lived a hundred years ago I wish that I sailed the darkened seas On a greater big clipper ship From this land here to that In a sailing suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man cannot be free From all the evils of this town, himself, and those around I wish I travelled all around And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know Heroin is gonna be the death of me Heroin is my wife, and it's my life 'Cause I main it through my vein Leads to a center in my head Then I'm better of than dead When that smack bud's startin' to flow Then I really don't care no more 'Bout those Jim-Jims in this town And the animals making sounds People selling people pound-by-pound And the politicians and the clowns And the do-gooders with their frowns Dead bodies piling down While that heroin is my blood And that blood is in my head And thank God I'm as good as dead And thank God I'm not aware And thank God that I don't care And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know
