SISTER MORPHINE

Here I lie in my hospital bed Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you comin' round again? Oh! I don't think I could 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 lyin' 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, I'm just trying to score Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dream Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast And that this shot will be my last Please, Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head Come on Sister Morphine, you better make up my bed 'Cos 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
