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

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.
