Comfortably Numb (Live at Earls Court, 20th October 1994) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Richard Wright, Guy Pratt & Jon Carin]
Hello? (Hello, hello, hello, hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on (Come on), now
I hear you're feelin' down
And I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax (Relax, relax, relax, relax)
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

[Chorus 1: David Gilmour]
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 sayin'
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
And I have become comfortably numb
[Guitar Solo 1]

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
I have become comfortably numb

[Verse 2: Richard Wright, Guy Pratt & Jon Carin]
Okay (Okay, okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more (Ah!)
But you may feel a little sick
Now can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
Well that'll keep you goin' through the show
Come on, it's time to go

[Chorus 2: David Gilmour]
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
[Guitar Solo 2]
