The Bad Plus - Comfortably Numb lyrics

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 Well, 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's smoke on the horizon You are 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 But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working good That'll keep you going for the show Come on, it's time to go 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 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 I have become comfortably numb
