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 And 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 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 through 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 And I have become comfortably numb
