Comfortably Numb (demo) Songtext
von Roger Waters

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 feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
And 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 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 feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

I have become, comfortably numb

Ok, just a little pinprick
There′ll be no more (ah-ah-ah)
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it′s working good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it′s time to go

There is no pain you are receiving
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


There is no pain you are receiving
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
