Chris Clunn - Morphine Song lyrics

Listen to my heartbeat Yeah, all fall down someone help me off of the ground Listen to my heartbeat Yeah, all fall down someone help me off of the ground Nelson and Starr He's got ten grandkids, she's the third missus He grooves around intensive care, strutting his stuff He's got a perfect mullet hanging down his back And Starr walks in, gives a little wiggle Makes old Nelson grin He tucks me in, touches my feet "Hey buddy, you know you got a slow heartbeat" Listen to my heartbeat Yeah, listen to my heartbeat And the marching band plays along Plays the morphine song on the charity ward Yeah the marching band plays its song Yeah, all fall down someone help me off of the ground Yeah, all fall down someone help me off of the ground And opposite me Brenda the alkie coughs so deep It's the d** and the drink It could happen to anyone Sure makes me think And the bed beside her is full of cables and leads Nobody visits, nobody grieves Listen to my heartbeat Yeah, listen to my heartbeat Nelson and Starr He's got ten grandkids, she's the third missus Starr takes some blood out of my arm Rolls me over just like that Listen to my heartbeat, slow but clean While Brenda the alkie looks so mean They wheel her out, she starts to cry "If I don't get better, I'm gonna die I'll go cold turkey till I'm clean I'll go to jail but you get the morphine" Listen to my heartbeat lalalala lalalala Yeah, listen to my heartbeat lalalala lalalala And the marching band song Plays in the morgue at the charity ward Yeah, the marching band plays its song Yeah, all fall down someone help me off of the ground Listen to my heartbeat Yeah, all fall down someone help me off of the ground
