Intro: |
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 I'm not that strong |
Bridge: |
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 |
I'm trying to score? |
Bridge: |
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 my last? |
Bridge: |
Sweet Cousin Cocaine |
Lay your cool, cool hand on my head |
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine |
You better make up my bed |
Because 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 |
Bridge: |
