Sister Morphine (Live)

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 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 walk across this floor
Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm just trying to score?

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem
Tell me, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?
And this shot
Hey, that this shot will be my last?

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool, cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine, yeah, you better make up, make up my bed
Yeah, 'cause you know, and I know in the morning, I'll be dead
Yeah, you can sit around, yeah, you can sit around and watch
All this clean white sheets stained red, yeah

Yeah, 'cause you know, you know, and I know in the morning, I'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah you can sit around and watch
All the clean white sheets stained red

Thank you
