COMFORTABLY NUMB

Pink Floyd

Hello, 
Is there anybody in there 
Just nod if you can hear me 
Is there anyone at home 
Come on now 
I hear you're feeling down 
I can ease your pain 
And get you on your feet again 
Relax 
I'll 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 smoke on the horizon 
You are coming through in waves 
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying 
When I was a child I had a fever 
My hands felt just like two balloons 
Now I've got that feeling once again 
I can't explain, you would not understand 
This is not how I am 
I have become comfortably numb 

O.K. 
Just a little pin prick 
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! 
But you may feel a little sick 
Can you stand up? 
I do believe it's working, good 
That'll keep you going through the show 
Come on it's time to go. 

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 saying 
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.
