Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you comin' 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 soundin' 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 trying to score

And that just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dream
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last

Sweet, Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine
You better make her my bed
Cause you know and I know
In the morning I'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around and you can watch
All the clean white sheets stain red
