Rolling Stones - Sister Morphine Lyrics
(m. jagger/k. richards/m. faithfull)Here I lie in my hospital bedTell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again?Oh, I dont think I can wait that longOh, you see that Im not that strongThe scream of the ambulance is sounding in my earsTell 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 cant crawl across the floorAh, cant you see, sister morphine, Im trying to scoreWell it just goes to showThings are not what they seemPlease, sister morphine, turn my nightmares into dreamsOh, cant you see Im fading fast?And that this shot will be my lastSweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my headAh, come on, sister morphine, you better make up my bedcause you know and I know in the morning Ill be deadYeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all theClean white sheets stained red.
