Morphine Tango Lyrics by John Kander

Kiss of the Spider Woman (Original Cast Recording)

0

[PRISONERS]
Ooh, ooh
First you take your arm and stick it out
Then you take a tube, you twist about
Pull it tight until you find a nice blue vein
And ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Then you take two fingers, pat the skin
Try the needle out then stick---it in
Any second now you'll feel no pain
Just ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Not bad, is it?
Dreams drift by
Loved ones visit
As you lie there

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
