Comfortably Numb

Snow is on the mountain

Winter settles in my heart

Icy fingers are familiar

Smooth and cold and oh so hard

Comfortably numb



Frost bites deep

Tiny birds fly from my heart

White winds scream

As they leave frozen lands of my heart

Comfortably numb



I watch my hands

To see what it is they do

Their dirty, they don't build churches

They don't take risks and they don't remember you

Comfortably numb



Orion was a mighty warrior

Cleopatra was a cheap french maid

He said sweetheart i give you the moon

She says i much prefer jewelry

So in the stars he stayed

Comfortably numb



Me and jesus, we go way back

Cause we used to hang at the mall

He says you can't trust them

They'll just put holes in your hands

So i covered him while he stole a bottle of cheap cologne

Comfortably numb

Lord, forbid, care crawled up my arm

And i killed it right on the spot

For fear it might tear out of my heart

And make me love what i do not

Comfortably

Comfortably

Comfortably numb
