The Lyrics
As performed by the Jimi Homeless Experience of course:
Purple veins all filled with pain
lately drugs just don't seem the same.
Lackin' money and you all know why
'scuse me while I kill this guy.
Purple veins up and down
don't know if I'm gonna hit the ground.
Am I livin', it's a mystery
what ever it is I'm lit like a christmas tree.
Purple veins all in my eyes
don't know if I'm the anti-Christ.
You got me dyin', dyin' inside
tomorrow is just a waste of time.
lately drugs just don't seem the same.
Lackin' money and you all know why
'scuse me while I kill this guy.
Purple veins up and down
don't know if I'm gonna hit the ground.
Am I livin', it's a mystery
what ever it is I'm lit like a christmas tree.
Purple veins all in my eyes
don't know if I'm the anti-Christ.
You got me dyin', dyin' inside
tomorrow is just a waste of time.
Lyrics copyright 2006 by Jimi Homeless creator J. F. Kinyon - The Jimi Homeless Experience

What are you on, man?
What I had in mind were varicose veins and doctors who ask you if you have insurance.
Jerry Seinfeld once said that if it's not laugh-out-loud funny, it's not funny. "'Scuse me while I kill this guy" is a laugh-out-loud line. I know I did.
5-5-5
I still don't get it.
What's not to get? The parody is obviously talking about intravenous drug use. When heroin junkies shoot so much that their veins collapse - their veins turn purple or even black. Hendrix' Purple Haze was a drug song that glorified being on drugs, this version shows the dark side of being on drugs. Again, pretty obvious to some of us.
