Sister Morphine
The Rolling Stones

from the album STICKY FINGERS


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

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
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
Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score

Well, it just goes to show, things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool, cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine, you better make up my bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah
And you can watch all the clean white sheets stained red
