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
