| Hello?
|
| Is there anybody in there?
|
| Just nod if you can hear me.
|
| Is there anyone at 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'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.
|
| O.K.
|
| Just a little pinprick.
|
| There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
|
| 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, 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. |
