| Lyrics: | 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. |
