Comfortably Numb

Hello (hello hello), is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
See'mon (c'mon see'mon), now
I hear you're feelin' down
Well, I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax (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 ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
You 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
I have become comfortably numb
Ok (OK OK) just a little pinprick
There'll be no more (scream)
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up (stand up, stand up)?
I do believe it's working good
That'll keep you going for the show
See'mon 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
You 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
