作曲 : Mick Jagger/Keith Richards/Marianne Faithfull

Here I lie in my hospital bed

Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are ya 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?

Umm, I can't crawl across the floor

Can't you see, Sister Morphine

I'm just trying to score

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem

Tell me, Sister Morphine, can my nightmares turn into dreams?

Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast

And that this shot will be my last

Sweet Cousin *******, lay your cool hand on my head

Come on Sister Morphine, will you make up my bed?

'Cause you know and I know in the morning, I'll be dead

And you can sit around, and you can watch

All the clean white sheets stained red
