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
