Heroin Lyrics

Cover art for Heroin lyrics by Lou Reed

note to readers: i considered the ambiguity of whether or not I had actually taken heroin. Above, the reference to heroin is the song, not the drug. The intoxication was coming from whisky.. and it cutting through my digestive system after a month and a half of significant drinking.

I'm not trying to be a druggy poser, but I wanted to right this addenda in case any hard core heroin user decided to write that I am faking my ailments, and I hadn't taken heroin.. I don't know the pains of heroin.. That's not the point of my heroin interpretation.

It hurts when you aren't on it. When you are, nothing hurts. You can't even consider pain.
