Comfortably numb

Hello (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 (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 ships 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
I have become comfortably numb

Ok (ok)
just a little pinprick
there'll be no more
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 ships 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
