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, aaahhh! 
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.

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.
