Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb"

Comfortably Numb
~Pink Floyd
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. <ping>
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

I once heard that the spoken female voice on the album
(she says, among other things "Is there anybody in there?"
and "do you want to take a bath?") is none other than Toni
Tenille. True or not? (If not true, who was it?)

Can someone email these lyrics to jm...@comp.uark.edu? It's a cool song.

Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he
is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe and not
make messes in the house.

Hello (hello hello), is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
C'mon (c'mon c'mon), now,
I hear you're feelin' down.
Well, I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax (relax 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.
You 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.
I have become comfortably numb.
OK (OK OK) just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more (scream),
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up (stand up, stand up)?
I do believe it's working good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
C'mon 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.
You 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.
And I have become comfortably numb.
