Comfortably Numb

Hello

Is there anybody in there

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone home

Come on now

I hear you're feeling down

Well I can ease your pain

Get you on your feet again

Relax

I need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts

There is no pain, you are receding

A distant ship's smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons

Now I got that feeling once again

I can't explain, you would not understand

This is not how I am

I have become comfortably numb

Ok

Just a little pinprick

There'll be no more ...Aaaaaahhhhh

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up

I do believe it's working Good

That'll keep you going for the show

Come on it's time to go

There is no pain, you are receding

A distant ship's smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown, the dream is gone

I have become comfortably numb
