Heroin (live version 4)

[Verse 1]

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 tell you things aren’t quite the same

When I'm rushing on my run

And I feel just like Jesus' son

[Chorus]

And I guess that I just don't know

And I guess that I just don't know

[Verse 2]

I have made 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 all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk

You can all go take a walk

[Chorus]

And I guess I just don’t know

And I guess that I just don't know

[Verse 3]

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

On a sailor's suit and cap

Away from the big city

Where a man cannot be free

Of all the evils of this town

And of himself and those around

[Chorus]

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

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

[Verse 4]

Heroin, be the death of me

Heroin, it’s my wife and it's my life, haha

Because a mainline into my vein

Leads to a center in my head

And then I'm better off than dead

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 everybody putting everybody else down

And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

Cause when the smack begins to flow

And I really don't care anymore

Ah, when that heroin is in my blood

Heh, and that blood is in my head

Then thank God that I'm as good as dead

And thank your God that I'm not aware

And thank God that I just don't care

[Chorus]

And I guess I just don't know

Oh, and I guess I just don't know
