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 now, you guys
And a
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
In a sailor´s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not 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 and dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don´t care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim´s in this town
And all the politicians makin´ crazy sounds
And everybody puttin´ everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

´Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don´t care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I´m as good as dead
Then 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
And I guess I just don´t know
