[00:46.17]
[00:52.38] I don't know just where I'm going
[01:05.96] But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
[01:21.15] 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
[01:24.81] When I put a spike into my vein
[01:28.19] And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
[01:31.44] When I'm rushing on my run
[01:34.78] And I feel just like Jesus' son
[01:37.65] And I guess that I just don't know
[01:41.56] And I guess that I just don't know
[01:44.18]
[01:53.93] I have made the big decision
[02:04.90] I'm gonna try to nullify my life
[02:22.37] 'Cause when the blood begins to flow
[02:25.81] When it shoots up the dropper's neck
[02:29.35] When I'm closing in on death
[02:39.58] And you can't help me not, you guys
[02:42.69] And all you sweet girls with all your sweet silly talk
[02:46.54] You can all go take a walk
[02:49.64] And I guess that I just don't know
[02:53.30] And I guess that I just don't know
[02:56.58]
[03:06.32] I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
[03:22.87] I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
[03:32.38] On a great big clipper ship
[03:35.85] Going from this land here to that
[03:39.31] In a sailor's suit and cap
[03:50.11] Away from the big city
[03:52.92] Where a man can not be free
[03:56.47] Of all of the evils of this town
[03:59.85] And of himself, and those around
[04:03.63] Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
[04:06.36] Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
[04:09.40]
[04:19.08] Heroin, be the death of me
[04:37.22] Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
[04:47.35] Because a mainer to my vein
[04:50.87] Leads to a center in my head
[04:53.69] And then I'm better off than dead
[05:17.49] Because when the smack begins to flow
[05:21.76] I really don't care anymore
[05:23.87] About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
[05:26.88] And all the politicians makin' busy sounds
[05:30.09] And everybody puttin' everybody else down
[05:33.07] And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
[05:36.60]
[06:06.42] 'Cause when the smack begins to flow
[06:09.46] Then I really don't care anymore
[06:19.21] Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
[06:22.87] And that blood is in my head
[06:25.96] Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
[06:29.25] Then thank your God that I'm not aware
[06:31.82] And thank God that I just don't care
[06:35.71] And I guess I just don't know
[06:38.65] And I guess I just don't know
[06:42.04]
[06:43.25]
