The Velvet Underground — Heroin demo

I know just where I'm going I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can 'Cause it makes me feel that I'm a man When I put the spike into my vein Then I'll tell 'ya things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing for my run And I feel like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I have made a big decision I'm gonna nullify my life When the blood begins to flow When it squirts up the dropper's neck When the smack goes and hits my blood When I'm closing in on death And my head begins to whirl And you can't help me, not you girls All you guys with all your talk You can all go take a walk Take me where the river flows Off the buildings around the floors And the buildings for the sign Linking all from the mother's time And I guess that I just don't know Oh, I guess that I just don't know I wish that I lived a hundred years ago I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that In a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city where a man can not be free From the evils of this town And of himself, and those around I wish I'd traveled all around And I guess I just don't know Oh babe, I guess I just don't know Heroin's gonna be the death of me Heroin, it's my life and it's my wife Because the mainline to my vein Leads to a center in my head And then I'm better off than dead With that smack then starting to flow Then I really don't care no more About the Jim-Jim's in this town And the animals making sounds And people selling people by p-p-pound And the politicians and the clowns And the do-gooders with their frowns And the dead bodies all piled in mounds While that heroin's in my blood And that blood is in my head Then thank God I'm as good as dead And thank God that I'm not aware And thank God that I don't well care And I guess that I just don't know Whoa, I guess that I just don't know
