LOU REED - Heroin lyrics

rate me

I don't know just where I'm going<br>But I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can<br>'cause it makes me feel like I'm a man<br>When I put a spike into my vein<br>Then I tell you things aren't quite the same<br><br>When I'm rushing on my run<br>And I feel just like jesus' son<br>And I guess I just don't know<br>And I guess that I just don't know<br><br>I have made very big decision<br>I'm goin' to try to nullify my life<br>'cause when the blood begins to flow<br>When it shoots up the dropper's neck<br>When I'm closing in on death<br><br>You can't help me not you guys<br>All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk<br>You can all go take a walk<br>And I guess I just don't know<br>And I guess I just don't know<br><br>I wish that I was born a thousand years ago<br>I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas<br>On a great big clipper ship<br>Going from this land here to that<br>I put on a sailor's suit and cap<br><br>Away from the big city<br>Where a man cannot be free<br>Of all the evils in this town<br>And of himself and those around<br>Oh, and I guess I just don't know<br>Oh, and I guess I just don't know<br><br>Heroin, be the death of me<br>Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life<br>Because a mainer to my vein<br>Leads to a center in my head<br>And then I'm better off than dead<br><br>When the smack begins to flow<br>Then I really don't care anymore<br>About all the jim-jims in this town<br>And everybody putting everybody else down<br>And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds<br>All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah<br><br>Wow, that heroin is in my blood<br>And the blood is in my head<br>Yeah, the god's good as dead<br>Ooohhh, God that I'm not aware<br>I just don't care<br>And I guess I just don't know<br>And I guess I just don't know
