verse
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
And 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?
chorus
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
bridge
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb
verse
O.K.
Just a little pinprick
There′ll be no more... ahh
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
chorus
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
bridge
And I have become comfortably numb
Writer(s): David Jon Gilmour, George Roger Waters
