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 Then I 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 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, not 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 Put on 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 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 than 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 And 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 I just don´t know Oh, and I guess I just don´t know

J´ignore où je me rends Mais si j´en suis capable, j´essaierai au nom du Roi Ouais, ça me donne l´impression d´être un homme Lorsque j´enfonce une aiguille dans ma veine
