“Heroin” by The Velvet Underground.

I don’t know just where I’m goin’
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 rushin’ 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 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,
goin’ from this land here to that,
ah in a sailor’s suit and cap
Away from the big city where a man
can not 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 and dead
‘Cause 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
Ah, 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.
Ohh and I guess I just don’t know

[ Album: The Velvet Underground & Nico, 1967 ]
