Lightbulb Sun — Porcupine Tree

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
