She's Like Heroin to Me - The Gun Club

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 puts 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
