Comfortably Numb
Gilmour/Waters
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.
