(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
