Roger Waters
Comfortably Numb
[Verse 1]
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
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?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 say
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
[Chorus]
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb
[Verse 2]
Ok, just a little pin prick
There'll be no more
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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 say
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
[Chorus]
I have become comfortably numb
