The sun is a light bulb
A candle´s a treat
The curtains stay closed now
On my little retreat
And I´ll only take medicine
If it´s followed by sweets
A sickly pink liquid
That puts me to sleep

My head beats a better way
Tomorrow a better day

And I can watch TV
While I´m wrapped up in bed
And mother makes sure that
I´m watered and fed
My best from school will
Come over and stare
At me in my bubble
Of germified air

When I´m asleep the smoke fills me
I feel the heat
My illness leaves me

The sun is a light bulb
A candle´s a treat
The curtains stay closed now
On my little retreat
But after a while
The noise from the street
Is making me wish I
Was back on my feet
