Sister Morphine |
|
|
|
|
|
Here I lie in my hospital bed, |
|
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again. |
|
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long |
|
Oh, you see I'm not that strong. |
|
|
|
All the other patients say they've never seen a man with such pain. |
|
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again ? |
|
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long, |
|
Oh, you see my pain is so strong. |
|
|
|
The siren of the ambulance is sounding in my ear. |
|
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. |
|
Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm just trying to score. |
|
|
|
Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem. |
|
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dream. |
|
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast |
|
And that this shot will be my last. |
|
|
|
Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands over my head. |
|
Hey, Sister Morphine, you'd better make the lyin' bed |
|
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead, |
|
And you can sit around and you can watch the clean white sheet stain red. |
