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

My head beats a better way
Tomorrow a better day

When I'm asleep the smoke fills me
I feel the heat My illness leaves me
