Sister Morphine

Sister ********
Here I lie in my hospital bed,
Tell me, Sister ********, when are you coming round again.
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see I'm not that strong.
All the other patients say they've never seen a man with such pain.
Tell me, Sister ********, when are you coming round again ?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,
Oh, you see my pain is so strong.
The siren of the ambulance is sounding in my ear.
Tell me, Sister ********, 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 ********, I'm just trying to score.
Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem.
Please, Sister ********, turn my nightmare into dream.
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last.
Sweet Cousin *******, lay your cool hands over my head.
Hey, Sister ********, you'd better make the lyin' bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and you can watch the clean white sheet stain red.
