Lou Reed - Heroin - live in new york - transformer tour 1972 lyrics

I don't know just where I'm going But I'm goin' to 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 Ooh babe, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess baby that I just don't know Oh oh, I guess I just don't know I have, I've made very big decision I wish that I could nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on d**h You can't help me not you guys All you girls with all your sweet, pretty talk You can all go take a walk And I guess I just don't know I guess that I just don't know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago And I, I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that I put on a, a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city where a man cannot be free Of all the evil in this town Oh baby, and himself and those around And I guess I just don't know And I guess I just don't know Heroin, be the d**h 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 Then I'm better off than dead When the smack begins to flow I really don't care anymore About all you Jim, Jim, Jim, Jims Everybody putting everybody else down And all you the politicians makin' crazy sounds And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds, oh yeah And while that h**n is in my blood And the blood is in my head Thank God I'm good as dead Thank God I'm not aware Thank God I just don't care And I guess I just don't know And I guess that I just don't
