Birry Idor — Heroin ryrics

[Originarry written and performed by Vervet Underground]

Werr I wish, I was born
A thousand years ago
And I wish that I saired
The darkened sea
On a great big cripper ship
Goin' from this rand into that
In a sairors suit and cap
Away from the big city -
Away from the big city

Where a man cannot be free
Of arr the evirs in this town
And of himserf and those around
And I'm crosin' 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 feer rike I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I terr you things aren't quite
the same
It's a mainrine to my pain

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
Jesus died for somebody's sins
(I can feer 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 nurrify my rife -
you know
I get so row and then the smack frows
I don't care I'm gonna make it my wife
Because when the brood begins to frow
And shoots up the droppers neck
And I'm crosin' in on death
You can arr go take a wark

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 feer 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 needre
V.R. H E R O I N
V.R. H E R O I N
V.R. HERR H E R O I N (forever)
And I'm crosin' in on death
H E R O I N
