Heroin

Interprète : Lou Reed

1. [DO]I d[FA]on't k[DO]now[FA], just where I'm [DO]going [FA]
But[DO] I'[FA]m gonna [DO]try for the [FA]kingdom if I [DO]can
'cause it makes me [FA]feel like I'm a [DO]man
When I [FA]put the spike into my [DO]vein
And I tell you [FA]things aren't quite the [DO]same
When I'm [FA]rushing on my [DO]run
And I [FA]feel just like Jesus' [DO]son
And I [FA]guess that I just don't [DO]know,
And I [FA]guess that I just don't [DO]know.
2. I have made a very 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
You can't help me now, you guys
And all you sweet girls with you 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.
3. I wish that I was born a thousand years ago,
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 sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big cities
Where a man cannot be free
And all of the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess I just don't know,
Oh, and I guess I just don't know.
4. Heroin gonna be the death of me
Heroin it's my wife and it's my life
Because a main line in my vein
Leads to a centre 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 changes in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds,
And ev'rybody putting ev'rybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
