Heroin

Well I wish, I was born
 thousand years ago
 And I wish that I sailed
 The darkened sea
 On a great big clipper ship
 Goin’ from this land into that
 In a sailors suit and cap
 Away from the big city -
 Away from the big city

 Where a man cannot be free
 Of all the evils in this town
 And of himself and those around
 And I’m closin’ in on death

 And I guess that I just don’t know
 And I guess that I just don’t know

 Ah - jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine
 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine

 I don’t know just where I’m goin’ - ahh
 But I’m gonna try for the kingdom
 If I can - yeah
 ’cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
 When I put a spike into my vein
 And I tell you things aren’t quite
 The same
 It’s a mainline to my pain

 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin
 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 (I can feel it)
 But not mine - heroin
 I said, jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin

 I have made a very big decision
 I gonna try to nullify my life -
 You know
 I get so low and then the smack flows
 I don’t care I’m gonna make it my wife
 Because when the blood begins to flow
 And shoots up the droppers neck
 And I’m closin’ in on death
 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

 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin
 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 (I can feel it)
 But not mine - heroin
 I said, jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin
 I said, jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin not mine,
 Heroin, smack attack

 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin
 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin
 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin
 Jesus died for somebody’s sins
 But not mine - heroin
 Smack attack

 Don’t touch that needle
 V.r. h e r o I n
 V.r. h e r o I n
 V.r. hell h e r o I n (forever)
 And I’m closin’ in on death
 e r o I n
