Comfortably Numb - Ani Difranco
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
