Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine,
when are you comin' round again?
Oh, I don't think I could wait that long
Oh you see that my pain is so strong

All the information stated
medicine man with some pain
Tell me, Sister Morphine,
when are you comin' round again?
Oh, 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 ear
Tell me, Sister Morphine,
how long have I been lyin' here?
What am I doin' in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Can't you see, Sister Morphine,
I'm just tryin' to score

And that just goes to show,
things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine,
turn my nightmare into a dream
Oh, can't sleep till I'm feeling fine
And that this shot will be in the line

Please, cousin cocain,
place your cool hands on my head
Hey, Sister Morphine,
you better make up my bed
For you know between the night time
and the morning of the day
That you sit around and watch
and meanwhile the sheets stain red
