Comfortably Numb

Hello, is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now, I've heard you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax, but 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 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 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

OK, just a little pin prick
There will be no more AAAAAAAAH!
But you feel a little sick
Can you stand up
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you coming for 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 had a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger around it now
The child has grown, the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
