Sister Morphine (Live 2015) lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
Well, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see I'm not that strong

[Verse 2]
The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Please tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?

[Bridge]
What am I doing in this place?
Why, why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm just trying to score?

[Verse 3]
Well, it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Tell me, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?
Yeah, this shot, yeah, this shot will be my last
(Yeah, come on, baby)
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
Sweet Cousin Cocaine, yeah, lay your cool, cool hand on my head
Now, come on, come on, now, Sister Morphine, Sister Morphine, yeah, you better make up, better make up my bed
Yeah, because you know, and I know, in the morning I'll be dead
Yeah, you can sit around, yeah, you can sit around and watch all these
Clean white sheets stained red, yeah
C'mon now
Yeah, come on, Sister Morphine

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Yeah, because you know, you know and I know, in the morning I'll be dead
Yeah, you can sit around, sit around and watch all the
Clean white sheets stained red

[Audience Applause]
