Hello (hello hello), is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me.

Is there anyone home?

C'mon (c'mon c'mon), now,

I hear you're feelin' down.

Well, I can ease your pain,

Get you on your feet again.

Relax (relax 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.

You 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.

OK (OK OK) just a little pinprick.

There'll be no more (scream),

But you may feel a little sick.

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

I do believe it's working good.

That'll keep you going for the show.

C'mon 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.

You 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.
