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 big decision
I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can
'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 talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

I wish 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
I put on a sailor's 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, 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

When the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And everybody else putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah
And I guess I don't know
And I guess that I just don't know...

Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, thank God that I'm good as dead
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 that I just don't know...
