Rolling Stones - Sister Morphine (Alternate Mix, Alternate Lyrics)
Let It Bleed Sessions, May-June 1969
Here i lie in my hospital bed
Please, sister morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, i don't think i can wait that long
Oh, you see that i'm not that strong
All the other patients said, never seen a man in such pain
Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, i don't think i can wait that long
Oh, you see that i'm not strong
The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Hey, 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 just can't crawl across this floor
Can't you see, sister morphine, i'm trying to score
Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem
Hey, sister morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams
Oh, can't you see i'm fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last
Please, cousin cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head
Please, 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
