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...
