She feels like heroin to me
So mainline it!

She feels like heroin to me
I know a perfect run by the sleep it puts in my heart
She cannot miss a vein

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 needs a passion like her father's used to be
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?"
She's like heroin to me
She's like heroin to me
She's like heroin to me
She's like heroin to me
I cannot get a look at it
I know my special rider, I can feel her in the dark
While we sit together sad like our fathers used to be
I guess that I'd be cool, but there's a tickle in my veins
So, I'm blowing back my trouble to the east

I know, because I'm like the train shooting down the mainline
But now
I'm looking up and I'm crying, "I thought it was up to you!"
She cannot miss a vein
I've been a real good tombstone, but now I'm blowing away
She cannot miss a vein

Don't let her take her love to town they will never fill her heart
She's like heroin to me

She is like an eye-blue swimming pool
