Sister Morphine - 1969 Version

Here I lie in my hospital bed
 Tell me, Sister Morphine
 When are you coming round 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 ears
 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
 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
 ♪
 Please, Cousin Cocaine
 Lay your cool hands on my head
 Hey, Sister Morphine
 You'd better make up my bed
 Boy if you know and I know
 In the morning I'll be dead
 And you can sit around and you can watch
 The clean white sheets stained red
