Comfortably Numb 2022 Lyrics

[Intro]
–found at zero five [?]
Hey, here's an important reminder:
If you were below Canal Street on 911, New Orleans–
[Verse 1]
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 feelin' down
Well, I can ease the pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

[Chorus]
There is no pain, you are recedin'
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 feelin' once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
[Refrain]
Is that you right now on the front [?]?
Jesus Christ!
Really?

[Verse 2]
Okay
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more (Ah!)
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you goin' through the show
Come on, it's time to go

[Chorus]
There is no pain, you are recedin'
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
[Outro: Shanay Johnson]
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Hail!
Hear me!
Oh, hear me!
Please hear me!
Hear me when I call!
Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
