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 friend 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.
