Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun Lyrics

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
