The Doctor (Comfortably Numb) (The Wall work in progress, pt. 2, 1979) (programme 1) (band demo)

Come in, sit down
Can you show me where it hurts?
Try to tell me using your own words
I must seem very old
But I was young once too
I've seen a lot of boys like you
I always say "Thank you, see you later"

And 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

I have become comfortably numb

You've got to pull yourself together
You shouldn't let get you down
You ought to take it like a man
You should go out and do the town
It's not good moping here alone
Feeling sorry for yourself
Go out and see what you can find
It's Saturday night, you must unwind
