Lightbulb Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
My head beats a better way
Tomorrow a better day
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
