Comfortably Numb - Chris Squire

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 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

I have become comfortably numb

Okay

Just a little pin prick

There’ll be no more AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?

I do believe its working.

Good

That’ll keep you going through the show

Come on it’s time to go

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 caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look and 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
