12 " I don't know just where I'm goingBut I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a manWhen I put a spike into my veinThen I tell you things aren't quite the sameWhen I'm rushing on my runAnd I feel just like Jesus' sonAnd I guess I just don't knowAnd I guess that I just don't knowI have made very big decisionI'm goin' to try to nullify my life'Cause when the blood begins to flowWhen it shoots up the dropper's neckWhen I'm closing in on deathYou can't help me not you guysAll you sweet girls with all your sweet talkYou can all go take a walkAnd I guess I just don't knowAnd I guess I just don't knowI wish that I was born a thousand years agoI wish that I'd sailed the darkened seasOn a great big clipper shipGoing from this land here to thatI put on a sailor's suit and capAway from the big cityWhere a man cannot be freeOf all the evils in this townAnd of himself and those aroundOh, and I guess I just don't knowOh, and I guess I just don't knowHeroin, be the death of meHeroin, it's my wife and it's my lifeBecause a mainer to my veinLeads to a center in my headAnd then I'm better off than deadWhen the smack begins to flowThen I really don't care anymoreAbout all the Jim-Jims in this townAnd everybody putting everybody else downAnd all of the politicians makin' crazy soundsAll the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeahWow, that heroin is in my bloodAnd the blood is in my headYeah, thank God that I'm good as deadOoohhh, thank your God that I'm not awareAnd thank God that I just don't careAnd I guess I just don't knowAnd I guess I just don't know- Heroin "
