Sister Morphine

'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Hey, Sister Morphine, you'd better make up my bed
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast

Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see I'm not that strong
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams
And you can sit around and you can watch
Oh, you see, am I barely so strong?
Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head

Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm just trying to score
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
What am I doing in this place? Why does the doctor have no face?

All the other patients say they've never seen a man with such pain
And that this shot will be my last
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem
