[Written by Steven Wilson]      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
