Howdy, hey Is there anybody in there? Nod if you can hear me Is there anybody at home? Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down I can ease your pain, 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're only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin' 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
Okay, just a little pinprick There'll be no more, ah, but you might feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working good That'll keep you going through the show, well, come on, it's time to go There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You're only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin' 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
