Sister Morphine lyrics

Artist  : Rolling Stones 
Song : Sister Morphine
 
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 I'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my
ears 
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 Ah, 
Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to
score.

Well it just goes to show things are not what
they seem 
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into
dreams. 
Oh can't you see I'm fading fast? And that this
shot will be my last.

Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hands on
my head 
Ah come on, Sister Morphine, you better make up
my bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be
dead 
You can sit around and you can watch all the
clean white sheets stained red.
