Lyric Sister Morphine [Version 1]

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 my pain is so 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 that I m not that strong.

The scream 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, just 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 the last.

Please, Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head.
Hey, Sister Morphine, you d better make up the lyin bed
Cause you know and I know in the morning I ll be dead,
And you can sit around and watch all the clean white sheets stain red.
