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.
