Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun lyrics

rate me

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
