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 Im 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, Im trying to score |
| Well it just goes to show |
| Things are not what they seem |
| Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams |
| Oh, can’t you see Im 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 I’ll be dead |
| Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the |
| Clean white sheets stained red. |
