Lyrics for Heroin
(Night of the vampire) (Creature) I don't know Just where I'm going anymore But I'm gonna try For the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my veins I tell you that things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my runs You know I feel just like Jesus's son And I guess that I don't just know And I guess that I just don't know I have made the big decision And I'm gonna try For the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my veins I tell you that things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my runs You know I feel just like Jesus's son And I guess that I don't just know And I guess that I just don't know Heroin Be the death of me Heroin It's my wife and it's my life Because of mainline in my vein I tell you that things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my runs You know I feel just like Jesus's son And I guess that I don't just know And I guess that I just don't know Heroin Heroin When the smack begins to flow You know, I really don't care anymore About all the evil in this town And everybody puttin' everybody else down And of himself, and those around And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds Heroin Be the death of me Heroin It's my wife, it's my life
