The Urn - Sister Morphine

Sister Morphine (written by Marianne Faithfull)
performed by The Urn
Lyrics:
Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, I dont think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that Im 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 cant crawl across the floor
Ah, cant you see, sister morphine, Im trying to score
Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, cant you see Im 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 Ill be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the
Clean white sheets stained red.

I went into the hospital for an operation and the 1st thing they did was put a "Morphine Drip " in my arm! I drifted in and out of consciousness for 10 days! I woke up one time and I was floating 5 feet above the bed! Another time, they aired the "twilight Zone"for 24 straight hours! Every episode I watched I was in! That 20 years ago and I remember it like yesterday! One of the best experiences in my life! SO DAMN TIRED OF THE HYPOCRASY!!!

@WayfaringStranger309 Looking on my 3 CDs of Marianne Faithfull, I found lots of covers and rare own written songs. I thought, she started song writing a lot later. One of the CDs (1987) claims "Jagger, Faithfull, Richard (yes, in that order and "Richards" without "s" due to problems with his father) as authors of "sister morphine". You may add them, but you don't have to. :) Its your decision.
