I know just where I'm going
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 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 that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
ย
I have made a 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
ย
You can't help me now, you guys
Or you girls, with 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
ย
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
In a sailor's suit and cap
ย
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know
ย
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainline into my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
ย
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
And everybody putting everybody else down
ย
But while that heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
And thank God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
