Heroin / Lou Reed

I dont know just where Im going

But Im goin to try for the kingdom if I can

cause it makes me feel like Im a man

When I put a spike into my vein

Then I tell you things arent quite the same

When Im rushing on my run

And I feel just like jesus son

And I guess I just dont know

And I guess that I just dont know

I have made very big decision

Im goin to try to nullify my life

cause when the blood begins to flow

When it shoots up the droppers neck

When Im closing in on death

You cant 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 dont know

And I guess I just dont know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

I wish that Id sailed the darkened seas

On a great big clipper ship

Going from this land here to thatI put on a sailors 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 dont know

Oh, and I guess I just dont know

Heroin, be the death of me

Heroin, its my wife and its my life

Because a mainer to my vein

Leads to a center in my head

And then Im better off than dead

When the smack begins to flow

Then I really dont 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 gods good as dead

Ooohhh, God that Im not aware

I just dont care

And I guess I just dont know

And I guess I just dont know
