Lyrics

Heroin

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I wish, I was born

A 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

H E R O I N
