Heroin Lyrics

Velvet Underground

I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna 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
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know
I have made the big decision, I'm gonna 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
And you can't help me, not you guys And all you sweet girls with all your sweet silly 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 was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that on a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city where a man cannot be free Of all of the evils of this town And of himself, and those around Oh, and I guess that I just don't know Oh, and I guess that 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
Because when the smack begins to flow I really don't care anymore About all the Jim-Jim's in this town And all the politicians makin' busy sounds And everybody puttin' everybody else down And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
'Cause when the smack begins to flow Then I really don't care anymore When the heroin is in my blood And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead Then thank your God that I'm not aware And thank God that I just don't care And I guess, I just don't know And I guess, I just don't know
