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 that 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, my 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
turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last?
Sweet Cousin Cocaine,
lay your cool, cool hands on my head
Hey, Sister Morphine,
you'd better... you'd better make up my bed
'Cause you know and I know that in the morning I'll be dead
And you can sit around and you can watch these clean white sheets stain red
