1
I don't know just where I'm going
2
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
3
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
4
When I put a spike into my vein
5
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
6
When I'm rushing on my run
7
And I feel just like Jesus' son
8
And I guess that I just don't know
9
And I guess that I just don't know
10
I have made the big decision, I'm gonna try to nullify my life
11
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
12
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
13
When I'm closing in on death
14
And you can't help me, not you guys
15
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet silly talk
16
You can all go take a walk
17
And I guess that I just don't know
18
And I guess that I just don't know
19
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
20
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
21
On a great big clipper ship
22
Going from this land here to that on a sailor's suit and cap
23
Away from the big city where a man cannot be free
24
Of all of the evils of this town
25
And of himself, and those around
26
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
27
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
28
Heroin, be the death of me
29
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
30
Because a Mainer to my vein
31
Leads to a center in my head
32
And then I'm better off than dead
33
Because when the smack begins to flow
34
I really don't care anymore
35
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
36
And all the politicians makin' busy sounds
37
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
38
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
39
'Cause when the smack begins to flow
40
Then I really don't care anymore
41
When the heroin is in my blood
42
And that blood is in my head
43
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
44
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
45
And thank God that I just don't care
46
And I guess, I just don't know
47
And I guess, I just don't know
