(Reed)     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'll 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 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   And you can't help me now, you guys   And a  You can all go take a walk   And I guess that 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 sail 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 can not be free   Of all of 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 mainer to my vein   Leads to a center in my head   And then I'm better off and 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   Then thank God that I'm as good as dead   Then 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
