I don't know just where I'm going   But I'm goin' to 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 you 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 very big decision   I'm goin' to 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 not you guys   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 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   I put on a sailor's suit and cap      Away from the big city   Where a man cannot be free   Of all the evils in this town   And of himself and those around   Oh, and I guess I just don't know   Oh, and I guess 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      When the smack begins to flow   Then I really don't care anymore   About all the jim-jims in this town   And everybody putting everybody else down   And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds   All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah      Wow, that heroin is in my blood   And the blood is in my head   Yeah, the god's good as dead   Ooohhh, God that I'm not aware   I just don't care   And I guess I just don't know   And I guess I just don't know
