The Band
Comfortably Numb
[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
Hello? (Hello, hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
Come on (Come on) now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again

[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

[Chorus: Van Morrison]
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
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Van Morrison]
I have become comfortably numb

[Verse 4: Roger Waters]
Okay (Okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick

[Verse 5: Roger Waters]
Can you 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: Van Morrison]
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 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 Solos]

[Chorus: Van Morrison]
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 but 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
