Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you coming around again?
Oh I don`t think I can wait that long
Oh you see that my pain is so 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 that I`m not that strong
The scream of the ambulance
Is sounding in my ear
So 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?
Just tryin` to score
Well the actions go to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine
Turn my nightmare into dream
Oh can`t you see that I`m fading fast?
And this shot will be the last
Please, cousin Cocaine
Lay your cool hands on my head
Hey, Sister Morphine
You better make up the black bed
`Cause you know and I know
That you want me, I`ll be dead
You sit around and watch
The clean white sheets stained red
