Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
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.
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 (1)__________ on the horizon.
You are only coming (2)______________ 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 (3)________ like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling (4)________ again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have (5)____________ comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There’ll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you (6)__________ up?
I do (7)______________ it’s working. good.
That’ll keep you (8)__________ 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 (9)________ what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to (10)________ 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.
