Childhood living
So easy to do the things
You wanted
I bought them for you
graceless lady
You know who I am
You know I can't let you slide
Through my hands
Wild horses could not drag me away
Wild, wild horses could not drag me away
I watched you suffer
Dull, aching pain
And now you've decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exits
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
Wild Horses could not drag me away
Wild, wild horses could not drag me away
I know i've dreamed you
A sin and a lie
I have my freedom
But I don't have much time
Faith has been broken
Tears must be cried
So let's do some living after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we will ride them someday
Wild horses couldn't drag me away from you
Wild horses, we will ride them somedayHere I lie in my hospital bed
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 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 can't crawl across the floor
Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score
Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm 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 I'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the
Clean white sheets stained red.
