Lightbulb Sun

[Verse 1]

The sun is a lightbulb, 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

[Chorus]

My head beats a better way

Tomorrow a better day

[Verse 2]

And I can watch TV while I'm wrapped up in bed

And mother makes sure that I'm watered and fed

My best friends from school will come over and stare

At me in my bubble of germified air

[Chorus]

My head beats a better way

Tomorrow a better day

[Post-Chorus]

When I'm asleep the smoke fills me

I feel the heat, my illness leaves me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

My head beats a better way

Tomorrow a better day

[Post-Chorus]

When I'm asleep the smoke fills me

I feel the heat, my illness leaves me

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

The sun is a lightbulb, 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
