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 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 soundin' 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 frosty 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, the clean white sheets stain red
