Comfortably Numb Live at Nassau Coliseum 1988 by Pink Floyd Lyrics
[Verse 1: David Gilmour and Richard Wright]
Hello? (Hello) (Hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on (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?
[Chorus 1: David Gilmour and Rachel Brennock/Sam Brown]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: David Gilmour]
I have become comfortably numb
[Verse 2: David Gilmour and Richard Wright]
Okay
Just a little pin prick *Ding*
There'll be no more "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
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
[Chorus 2: David Gilmour and Rachel Brennock/Sam Brown]
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 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
Hello? (Hello) (Hello)
