Dar Williams Comfortably Numb Lyrics

Comfortably Numb 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



relax.  i need some information first

just the basic facts

can
you show me where it hurts



there is no place, 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 got that feeling once again

i can't explain, you
would not understand

this is now how i am.



ahh, i have
become comfortably numb



ok, it's just a little pinprick

they'll be no more, ah

but you might 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 place 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 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



ahh, i have
become comfortably numb
