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 Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship 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 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.
