In The Flesh (Part 2) 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 the 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's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through 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 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 --Aaaaaahhhhh!
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 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 sayin'
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
