lyrics

Nurse Without a Name

Her soothing presence made a grand entrance when she pulled back the curtain
A benevolent form that felt so warm and made me less uncertain
She dressed me down in a hospital gown and I happily nodded
When she explained that soon my veins would be flooded with Dilaudid

Come rip off the bandage, rip off the bandage, rip off the bandage and open the drains
As I lay and wait for the nurse without a name

She stopped back again on hour ten of a fourteen hour trick
And I barely flinched when I felt the pinch of her sweet warm gentle kiss

Come rip off the bandage, rip off the bandage, rip off the bandage and open the drains
As I lie and wait for the nurse without a name

When I’m feeling thirsty my angel of mercy makes a heavenly cocktail
That deadens the pain with a nice plain rain, she’s my Florence Nighintgale

Rip off the bandage, rip off the bandage, rip off the bandage and open the drains
As I lay and wait for the nurse without a name
