Velvet Underground - Heroin (live in Paris)

Velvet Underground - Heroin Live in Paris 1993 Lyrics: I dont know just where Im going But Im gonna try for the kingdom, if I can cause it makes me feel like Im a man When I put a spike into my vein And Ill tell ya, things arent quite the same When Im rushing on my run And I feel just like jesus son And I guess that I just dont know And I guess that I just dont know I have made the big decision Im gonna 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 And you cant 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 dont know And I guess that I just dont know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that Id sail the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that In a sailors 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 dont know Oh, and I guess that 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 and dead Because when the smack begins to flow I really dont care anymore About all the jim-jims in this town And all the politicians makin crazy 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 dont care anymore Ah, when the heroin is in my blood And that blood is in my head Then thank God that Im as good as dead Then thank your God that Im not aware And thank God that I just dont care And I guess I just dont know And I guess I just dont know
