comfortably numb with david gilmour live pink floyd cover

David Bowie

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
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I ll 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 feeling once again
I can t explain,
You would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There ll be no more aaaaaaaah
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 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
