lyrics

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
Can you relax? I 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's 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 fever once again
I can't explain, you would not understand, this is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

Ok, it's just a little pinprick
There'll be no more XXXXXXXXX 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's 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 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
