COMFORTABLY NUMB  Hello, hello, 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'll 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 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 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. Just a little pin prick.      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 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.
