Heroin – (by Lou Reed, arranged by David Lang)

I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m goin‘ to try for the kingdom if I can
‚cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren’t quite the same

When I’m rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus‘ son
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know

…

Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, the god’s good as dead
Ooohhh, God that I’m not aware
I just don’t care
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess I just don’t know

„Sits and shimmers gently, like a jeweled pendant turning very slowly in the light.“ -Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle
