Comfortably Numb (Gilmour, Waters) - 9:10 - 1979 Lyrics

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.
