Hello,
Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?

Come on now
I hear you're feeling down

Well, I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll 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 smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves
Your 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

O.K.
Just a little pin *****
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good

That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go.

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.
