Lightbulb Sun Songtext

von 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 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
