Sister Morphine - Live
"Now we come to what I call Chunky's corner
And of course we start with the great Sister Morphine"
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
Ooh you see 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 I'm not that strong
The scream of the ambulance
Is sounding 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 just tryin' to score
Well it just goes 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 that this shot will be the last
"Chattering, Jack, VJ, very good Jack"
Sweet, cousin Cocaine
Lay your cool hands on my head
Hey c'mon Sister Morphine
Better make up my bed
For you know and I know
In the morning, I'll be dead
An' you can sit around an' you can watch
The clean white sheets stain red
And of course we start with the great Sister Morphine"
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
Ooh you see 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 I'm not that strong
The scream of the ambulance
Is sounding 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 just tryin' to score
Well it just goes 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 that this shot will be the last
"Chattering, Jack, VJ, very good Jack"
Sweet, cousin Cocaine
Lay your cool hands on my head
Hey c'mon Sister Morphine
Better make up my bed
For you know and I know
In the morning, I'll be dead
An' you can sit around an' you can watch
The clean white sheets stain red
