My friend Kate's got a disease
She makes it look so easy
She always seems to keep the peace
Keeps the peace

She's become immune to pain
You get that way day to day
And if I could now
I would say it's all right

It's like being trapped in a cellar
It all depends on the weather
Whether or not I would want to die

She needs sunshine
She needs sunshine
Serotonin

All alone way up there
She never shows a bit of fear
Now it's not fair now, it's not fair
Not all, no
It's been going way too long
So I thought I'd give this song
It's something small but it's all that I can give

It's like being trapped in a cellar
It all depends on the weather
Whether or not I would want to die

She needs sunshine
She needs sunshine
Serotonin
Serotonin
She needs sunshine

Every hour Percocets and Valium
I remember talking in her room
Saying "Kate, everything will be fine"

She needs sunshine
She needs sunshine
Serotonin
Serotonin
She needs sunshine
She needs sunshine
She needs sunshine
She needs sunshine
Serotonin, Serotonin, Serotonin
