Heroin

[Verse 1]

I don't know just where I'm goin'

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 rushin' 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

[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 closin' 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

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 darkеned seas

On a great big clippеr ship

Goin' 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 in the town

And of himself and those around

And I guess that I just don't know

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

Because a mainline into my vein

Leads to a center in my head

Then I'm better off than dead

Because when the smack begins to flow

And I really don't care anymore

About all the Jim-Jims 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

And I really don't care anymore

When that heroin is in my blood

And that blood is in my head

Then thank God that I'm good as dead

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
