Morphine Dream
As I lay drugged in a hospital a reel played in my mind
A stately ball in a castle hall, couples intertwined
The bitter taste of morphine lay upon my tongue
They waltzed across a stone-flagged floor
Like puppets on a wire
And on the threshold a green-eyed temptress
Beckoned with a waxy hand and I felt a yearning
The bitter taste of morphine took away my pain
And they waltzed across a stone-flagged floor
Like puppets on a wire
"Close your eyes, sleep my love. Sleep perchance to dream"
I approached in wonder, misread the smirking
In her green eyes, on her red lips - Oh, they cursed me
The bitter taste of morphine lay upon my tongue
And the hand that gripped mine was vicelike and frozen
They waltzed across a stone-flagged floor
Like puppets on a wire
I blinked away the clutching hands that reached out from the night
Fixed my eyes on the nightlight, waited for sunrise
A stately ball in a castle hall, couples intertwined
The bitter taste of morphine lay upon my tongue
They waltzed across a stone-flagged floor
Like puppets on a wire
And on the threshold a green-eyed temptress
Beckoned with a waxy hand and I felt a yearning
The bitter taste of morphine took away my pain
And they waltzed across a stone-flagged floor
Like puppets on a wire
"Close your eyes, sleep my love. Sleep perchance to dream"
I approached in wonder, misread the smirking
In her green eyes, on her red lips - Oh, they cursed me
The bitter taste of morphine lay upon my tongue
And the hand that gripped mine was vicelike and frozen
They waltzed across a stone-flagged floor
Like puppets on a wire
I blinked away the clutching hands that reached out from the night
Fixed my eyes on the nightlight, waited for sunrise
