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 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 got that feeling once again. |
|
I can't explain, you would not understand. |
|
This is not how I am. |
|
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 for 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. |
