Sister Morphine (Live "Blazing Away" Version)

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 I now that is 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 my love

Please cousin c*****e

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

And you can sit around and youcan watch

The clean white sheets stained red
