Heroin (Velvet Underground cover) Lyrics

I don't know
just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try
For the kingdom in my head
Makes me feel like I'm a man
I put a spike into my veins
I tell you thinks aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
I and feel like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
whoo, hoo hoo

I made a decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
Cause when the blood begins to flow
And you shoot up a droppers neck
And I really don't care no more
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't

heroin
that's me
heroin

I wish I was born a thousand years ago
I wish I could sail the darkest seas
on a great big clipper ship
Moving from this, there, then to that
Over the evils in this town
All the dead boddies piled up on the ground
I lost myself and those around
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't...... know

heroin, heroin
it's my wife
and it's my life
heroin will be the death of me
yeah...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is way different than the original. I don't like it very much, but I only listened to it once so maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. Good choice of song to cover anyway.
