John Cale - Heroin - Текст песни

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 now, 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 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
