Cover art for Dancing Barefoot lyrics by Patti Smith

Used to think this was a U2 original until I discovered Patti's. Both are amazing. Used to think Bono was saying heroin, until I heard the original, heroine makes more sense. Definitely not about heroin, "makes me come on like some heroine". Thanks, Prisoner for clearing that up. Still, I can see how some would make the connection, it was recorded close to the same period as Bad, and Running to Stand Still which are about heroin and hopelessness
