Sister Morphine - Live

Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you 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
Come on now, 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 nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
Yeah, and that this shot will be my last?

Come on
Ah, yeah

Please, please, Cousin Codeine, lay your cool, cool hand on my head
Come on now, Sister Morphine, you better make up my 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 stained red, ah

Alright

Thank you very much
Muchas gracias, hasten bien
Hasten bien
Bueno
