I don't know just where I'm going
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 rushing 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
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
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 than dead
Because 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
And I guess I just don't know

Review about Heroin It sets the mood | Reviewer: Elevo | 6/27/09
When I was younger I loved the emotion of "the world is fucked so watch me kill myself while being brilliant" not so much lately, but It's still a sound argument. There are more dead bodies piled than ever. The statement I hear "this is the best song about heroin" This is the most fanciful. But the best song actually about heroin is without a doubt waiting for the man. followed by run run run and white light. Who wants to think about heroin when they are already high? I want songs about marijuana like sweet jane most. As a heroin addict everything starts slipping away, like a good joint. I listened to this song exchanging the word heroin for heroine. He uses It's my wife. Heroin is known as the male. Just something to think about. Another good song while on heroin is venus in furs.
This song is fucking amazing. If you have ever done heroin you know thats exactly how shit starts sounding. It's ike hearing poetry in a perfect form without rhyme. Too bad we missed the 60's. I would have gone in person
The song itself is wonderfully done. The way if flows is almost as if you were doing the drug yourself. "Herion" is a beautifully done song and one of the best songs on drug addiction I have ever heard. It gives you a glimpse of what the addict is thinking. The way the song builds up and then goes on a different course, it just seems like something you'd expect to experience if you were the user! Thank you Velvet Underground....and you too Nico!
gotta love it....simply amazing.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/10/08
this is one of the best song ever written! the lyric is fantastic and the music is simply genious!! i'm not surprised that this record has been produced by someone called Andy Warhol maybe the most genious man of the last millenium...
guy above me right on, right on | Reviewer: tweakbinge48 | 12/1/07
Yeah man you took the words right out of my mouth dude. I love how at the end of the song theres jsut so much feedback and shit going on and the drums aren't even keeping a a beat. Its great cuz its so unorthodox ye know?
This is the best song about drug addiction ever, I'm not even kidding. I just love how you can hear the emotion and intesity in his voice. Fucking brilliant piece of music.
