Heroin

I don't know, just where I'm going

But I'm gonna 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

And I'll tell ya things aren't quite the same

When I'm rushing on my run

And I feel just like Jesus' son

And I guess that I just don't know

And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision

I'm gonna try to nullify my life

'Cause when the blood begins to flow

When it shoots up the dropper's neck

When I'm closing in on death

And you can't help me, not you guys

And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk

You can all go take a walk

And I guess that I just don't know

And I guess that I just don't know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas

On a great big clipper ship

Going from this land here to that

All in a sailor's suit and cap

Away from the big city where a man cannot be free

Of all of the evils of this town

And of himself and those around

Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Heroin

Be the death of me

Heroin

It's my wife and it's my life

Because a mainer to my vein

Leads to a center in my head

And then I'm better off than dead

Because when the smack begins to flow

Oh, I really don't care anymore

About all the Jim-Jim's in this town

And all the politicians making busy sounds

And everybody putting everybody else down

And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

Because when the smack begins to flow

Then I really don't care anymore

Ah, when the heroin is in my blood

Heh, and that blood is in my head

Then thank God that I'm good as dead

And thank your God that I'm not aware

And thank God that I just don't care

And I guess I just don't know

Oh, and I guess I just don't know
