Velvet Underground - Heroin Lyrics
(reed)I dont know just where Im goingBut Im gonna try for the kingdom, if I cancause it makes me feel like Im a manWhen I put a spike into my veinAnd Ill tell ya, things arent quite the sameWhen Im rushing on my runAnd I feel just like jesus sonAnd I guess that I just dont knowAnd I guess that I just dont knowI have made the big decisionIm gonna try to nullify my lifecause when the blood begins to flowWhen it shoots up the droppers neckWhen Im closing in on deathAnd you cant help me not, you guysAnd all you sweet girls with all your sweet silly talkYou can all go take a walkAnd I guess that I just dont knowAnd I guess that I just dont knowI wish that I was born a thousand years agoI wish that Id sail the darkened seasOn a great big clipper shipGoing from this land here to thatIn a sailors suit and capAway from the big cityWhere a man can not be freeOf all of the evils of this townAnd of himself, and those aroundOh, and I guess that I just dont knowOh, and I guess that I just dont knowHeroin, be the death of meHeroin, its my wife and its my lifeBecause a mainer to my veinLeads to a center in my headAnd then Im better off and deadBecause when the smack begins to flowI really dont care anymoreAbout all the jim-jims in this townAnd all the politicians makin crazy soundsAnd everybody puttin everybody else downAnd all the dead bodies piled up in moundscause when the smack begins to flowThen I really dont care anymoreAh, when the heroin is in my bloodAnd that blood is in my headThen thank God that Im as good as deadThen thank your God that Im not awareAnd thank God that I just dont careAnd I guess I just dont knowAnd I guess I just dont know
