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,
Well, I tell you things aren't quite the same...
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son,
And I guess I just don't know,
And I guess I just don't know.

I
Have made
A great, 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...
You can't help me, not you guys,
Or you girls with all your sweet talk,
You can all go take a walk.
And I guess I just don't know,
And I guess I just don't know...

I
Wish that
I was born a thousand years ago.
I
Wish that
I'd sailed the darkened seas,
On a great, big clipper ship,
Going from this land here to that,
Wearing a sailor's suit and cap...
Away from the big city,
Where a man cannot be free,
Of all of the evils in this town,
And of himself, and those around,
And I guess I just don't know,
I guess I just don't know...

Heroin,
Be the death of me.
Heroin,
It's my wife and it's my life,
Because a mainer into my vein
Leads to a center in my head...
And then I'm
Better off than dead...

'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
About all you jim-jims in this town,
And everybody putting everybody else down,
And all the politicians making crazy sounds,
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds...
'Cause when that heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head,
Thank God, I'm good as dead,
Thank God, I'm not aware,
Thank God, I just don't care,
And I guess I just don't know,
And I guess I just don't know....
