Roger Waters
Comfortably Numb - Live at Pompeii
[Verse 1: Chuck Leavell]
Hello? (Hello, hello, hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on (Come on), now (Now)
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax (Relax, relax, relax)
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
[Chorus 1: David Gilmour]
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 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
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Chorus: David Gilmour]
I have become comfortably numb
[Verse 2: Chuck Leavell]
Okay (Okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more (Ah!)
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up? (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go
[Chorus 2: David Gilmour]
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 saying
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
[Guitar Solo 2]
[Outro: David Gilmour]
Thank you very much indeed and good night to you
Thank you!
Buonanotte, grazie mille
See you one of these days, good night!
