I cannot get a look at it

so, I'm burning them on the deal anyway

I see her come down from the top of the stairs



I guess that I'd be cool, but there's a tickle in my veins

I've been a real good tombstone, but now I'm blowing away



She is like an eye-blue swimming pool

but, she will never know that she is there

we sit together drunk like our fathers used to be

I'm looking up and God is saying, "What are you gonna do?"

I'm looking up and I'm crying, "I thought it was up to you!"



but now



She's like Heroin to me

she's like Heroin to me

she's like Heroin to me

she cannot miss a vein



don't let her take her love to town

they will never fill her heart

she needs a passion like her father's used to be



I know, because I'm like the train shooting down the mainline

I know, because I'm like the Indian wind along the telegraph lines



and she's like Heroin to me

she's like Heroin to me

she's like Heroin to me

she cannot miss a vein



So mainline it!



I cannot get a look at it

so, I'm blowing back my trouble to the east

while we sit together sad like our fathers used to be



I know a perfect run by the sleep it puits in my heart

I know my special rider, I can feel her in the dark



she feels like Heroin to me

she feels like Heroin to me

she's like Heroin to me

she cannot miss a vein
