written and the people she was hanging out with......................Lou
Reed...........................................Patti is experienced and aint

I always heard it as
"heroin".   I think it makes more sense in the context
of the song.

Patti, as we all know, is first and foremost a poet......  I  have
always 
felt that she wrote "heroine", but understood that some would hear
"heroin"
and 
that was just fine with her-  that it was perfect for the two
meanings to 
resonate and intertwine.  xxo- Seena
