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. [ping]

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.
