Ok, I'm comfortably Numb
Too much California thought
too much thought
is dangerous
These guy rule..........and yes the dream is gone




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
And get you on your feet again.
Relax, I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
(David Gilmour)
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.
(Roger Waters)
Ok, just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
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.
(David Gilmour)
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.

1. Well, my ass is numb. not so much comfortably.
But that's a great song. My fave one by PF, in fact.

2. Well thanks, but I am not numb to bigotry
But I'm numb


numb is good, I know
ignorance is bliss
but I am blistered


the needle is the football games

the things that the romans did

in the colosseum

to take the masses

but they fed them

We just have TV.
