sister morphine
Here I lie in my hospital bed Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again? Oh, I don't think I can wait that long Oh, you see, I'm not that 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, my pain's so 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, 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 dreams Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast And that this shot will be the last?  Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head Hey, sister morphine, you'd better make the lyin' bed '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 stain red
