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

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



You can't help me now, you guys

And 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



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



Away from the big city

Where a man cannot be free

Of all 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 mainline in 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

And the blood is in my head

Then I 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

And I guess that I just don't know

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