[Verse 1]
I don t know just where I m going
But I m gonna try for the kingdom if I can
Cuz it makes me feel like I m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then, I tell ya , things aren t quite the same
When I m rushin on my run
And I feel just like Jesus son
[Chorus]
And I guess that I just don t know
And I guess that I just don t know
[Verse 2]
I have made big decisions
I m gonna try to nullify my life
Cuz when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper s neck
When I m closing in on death
(After this line, Morrison interjects with a riff B, which is to be repeated as necessary)

And you can t help me, not you guys
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
[Chorus]
And I guess I just don t know
And I guess that I just don t know
[Verse 3]
I wish that 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
Ah, in a sailor s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
[Chorus]
Oh, and I guess that I just don t know
Oh, and I guess that I just don t know
[Verse 4]
Heeeeeroin
Be the death of me
Heeeeeroin
It s my wife and it s my life
Because a mainline to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I m better off as dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
Ah, I really don t care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And all the politicians makin busy sounds
And everybody puttin everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
Play riff B a few times
Cuz when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don t care anymore
Ah, when that heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank god that I m good as dead
And thank your god that I m not aware
And thank god that I just don t care
[Chorus]
And I guess I just don t know
Ah, and I guess I just don t know
[Outro]
