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 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 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 stain red
