Comfortably Numb

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]

Hello? (Hello, hello)

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone at home?

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]

Come on (Come on) now

I hear you're feeling down

Well, I can ease your pain

And get you on your feet again

[Verse 3: Roger Waters]

Relax

I'll need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts?

[Chorus: Van Morrison]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Van Morrison]

I have become comfortably numb

[Verse 4: Roger Waters]

Okay (Okay, okay, okay)

Just a little pinprick

There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick

[Verse 5: Roger Waters]

Can you stand up? (Stand up, stand up)

I do believe it's working, good

That'll keep you going through the show

Come on, it's time to go

[Chorus: Van Morrison]

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 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

[Guitar Solos]

[Chorus: Van Morrison]

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 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
