Sister Morphine (Live 2015)

[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 walk across this 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
