Sister Morphine

Here I lie in my hospital bed

Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming 'round again?

Oh, and I don't think I can wait that long

Oh, you see that I'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance

Is sounding in my ears

Tell me, Sister Morphine

How long have I been lying here?

What am I doing in this place?

Why does the doctor have no face?

Oh, I can't crawl across the floor

Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine

I'm trying to score

Well it just goes to show

Things are not what they seem

Please, Sister Morphine

Turn my nightmare into dreams

Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?

And that this shot will be my last

Sweet Cousin Cocaine

Lay your cool, cool hand on my head

Ah, come on, Sister Morphine

You better make up my bed

Because you know, and I know

In the morning I'll be dead

Yeah, and you can sit around

Yeah and you can watch

All the clean white sheets stained red

Hey

Hey
