The sun is a light bulb

A candle's a treat

The curtains stay closed now

If it's followed by sweets

A sickly pink liquid
A Asus4 A
That puts me to sleep

A Dsus2 BB5
Tomorrow a better day

While I'm wrapped up in bed
G/C D/B
And mother makes sure that

My best from school will
A
Come over and stare

At me in my bubble

Of germified air

The noise from the street

Was back on my feet
