Well, I can see the heroin reference in this song for sure, but I also get a feeling of grittiness like an old Robert Crumb movie or the Warriors. I think this is a song about the glamorization of the 70's drug scene. After all, this was the time for the exploitations and the beatniks. It is a very gripping story of how sex, violence, drugs were prevalent in New York at the time.
