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  got  that  feeling  once  again.
i  can't  explain,you  would  not  understand.
this  is  not  how  i  am.
i  have  become  comfortably  numb.
ok.
just  a  little  pinprick.
there'll  be  no  more --aaaaaahhhhh!
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
