Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you coming around again?
Oh I don't think I can wait that long
Oh you see that I am not so strong
ย
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
Can't you see that the pain is too strong
ย
The scream of the ambulance
Is sounding in my ear
Tell me, Sister Morphine
How long have I been 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 tryin' to score...
ย
Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine
And this shot will be the last
turn my nightmares into dreams
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
Hey, Sister Morphine
You better make up the black bed
'Cause you know and I know
That you want me, I'll be dead
You sit around and watch
The clean white sheets stained red
