Sister Morphine Lyrics


Here I lie in my hospital bed

I don't want to remember what the others said

Tell me, sister morphine,

When you come around here?

I don't think I can wait that long

You see that I'm not that strong

Oh, can't you see I fell so fast

And it's shutting dead your eyes

Sweet cousin cocaine

And you, dear friend, heroine

Tell me what are we doing in this place

Why, cause the doctor has no face

Well, it just glows too short

Things are not what they seem

Please, sister morphine

Turn my nightmares into dreams

Where I can crawl across the floor

I don't think I can get through that fucking door

Oh, can't you see I fell so fast

And it's shutting dead your eyes

Sweet cousin cocaine

And you, dear friend, heroine

Tell me what are we doing in this place

Why, cause the doctor has no face

Sweet sister morphine

Better make my bed

Cause I know and you know that in the morning

In the morning I'll be dead
