The heroine stood up on the deck
The ship was out of control
The bow was being ripped to shreds
Men were fighting down below
The sea had pummeled the boat for so long
That they knew nothing but fear
And the baby's in the box, he thinks the door is locked
The sea is in a state, the baby learns to wait
For the heroine, ooohh for the heroine
Locked in his defense, he waits for the heroine
The mast is cracking as he waves are slapping
Sailors roll across the deck
And when they thought none was looking
They would cut a weaker man's neck
While the heroine dressed in a virgin white dress
Tried to steer the mighty ship
But the raging storm wouldn't hear of it
They were in for a long trip
Baby's in the box, he thinks the door is locked
He finds it hard to breathe, drawing in the sea
And where's the heroine to fire off the gun
To calm the raging seas and let herself be seized by the
Baby in the box, he thinks the door is locked
The woman has the keys
But there is no moment she can seize
Here's to the heroine, who transcends all the men
Who are locked inside the box
Will the lady let them out
Ooohh the heroine, ooohh the heroine
Strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine
Lewis Allan Reed nacque al Beth El Hospital di Brooklyn, New York, e crebbe a Freeport, Long Island. Appassionatosi alla musica ascoltando la radio, imparò a suonare la chitarra e sviluppò un forte interesse per il rock and roll e il rhythm and blues, e durante gli anni delle scuole superiori suonò in vari gruppi studenteschi. Reed alla scuola superiore, 1959. Nel 1956, ancora adolescente, Reed venne sottoposto ad una terapia di elettroshock che avrebbe dovuto curare la sua bisessualità recentemente manifestatasi; nel 1974 Reed scrisse la canzone Kill Your Sons circa questa esperienza che lo traumatizzò e di cui non si liberò mai. Alla fine del 1960 Reed iniziò a frequentare la Syracuse University, studiando giornalismo, regia cinematografica, e scrittura creativa. Nel 1961 egli iniziò a condurre un programma radiofonico notturno alla stazione radio WAER chiamato "Excursions On A Wobbly Rail." Il nome del programma derivava dal titolo di un brano musicale del pianista jazz Cecil Taylor. Nel corso della trasmissione, Reed trasmetteva doo wop, rhythm and blues e jazz, in particolare brani free jazz. Molte delle tecniche chitarristiche di Reed, derivarono da sassofonisti jazz come Ornette Coleman. Nel giugno 1964 Reed si laureò alla Syracuse University's College of Arts and Sciences. Lo scrittore e poeta Delmore Schwartz insegnava alla Syracuse University e prese in simpatia il giovane Reed, che nel 1966 gli dedicò la composizione European Son inclusa nell'album di debutto dei Velvet Underground. Reed dichiarò in seguito che l'obiettivo principale come scrittore che si era prefissato era quello di "portare la sensibilità della letteratura nella musica rock", rendendo superati gli adolescenziali testi delle canzoni di rock and roll degli anni cinquanta e primi sessanta (che il suo mentore Schwartz detestava immensamente).
