Sister Morphine (Live)

Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me
Sister Morphine
When are ya coming round again
Oh, And 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 ears
Please 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
Tell me
Sister Morphine
Can my nightmares turn 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 hand on my head
Now Come on, come on now
Sister Morphine
Sister Morphine
And you make up
Will you make up my bed
And 'cause you know
And I know in the morning
I'll be dead
And you can sit around
And you can watch
All the clean white sheets stained red
Come on

Now well, Sister Morphine

And you know
You know and I know in the morning
I'll be dead
And you can sit around
And you can watch
All the clean white sheets stained red
