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 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 cant crawl across the floor

Ah, cant 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 nightmares into dreams

Oh, cant 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

cause you know and I know in the morning Ill be dead

Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the

Clean white sheets stained red.
