Comfortably Numb
Hello...
[echo]
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on.. now...
[echo]
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain,
'n 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! [scream]
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.
and I.. have become.. comfortably numb.
