Song lyrics
Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at 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 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
I have become Comfortably Numb

Ok, just a little pin prick
There'll be no more AHHHHHH!!
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

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

Brilliant song. It's a common misconception that this song is about Pink shooting Heroin before a show. It's not so. The "pin prick" is actually a booster shot given to him so as to keep him "going through the show"

Quickly, I need the exact credits for this... Waters? Who else? I'm using it for an opening quote in a column I'm writing:

"Hello, hello, hello... Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me... Is there anyone at home?"

And this being a favorite site I came here first... anyone know right offhand/

I don't know if anyone knows this but this song is about him doing H right before he goes on stage. And how he cold never fill a void he felt when he was a child and in adulthood he turned to drugs

mrperson, your kidding me right? If you dont know this song is about Heroin, you seriously need to reconsider how to listen to the words of a song.

"Ok, just a little pin prick"

That alone right there gives it away. 9 out of 10 Heroin addicts inject (or shot) it. Hence just a little pin prick.

"There'll be no more AHHHHHH!!"

Heroin is stronger then Morphine, its actually an illegal version of it, once then "shelf" life of heroin is over it basically reverts to morphine, so yeah there is NO pain after it starts hitting you.

"But you may feel a little sick"

As soon as heroin hits your system it starts making you feel sick to your stomach, its even made me puke quite a few times.

But thats not it, everything through out the song describes exactly whats its like to be high on heroin, trust me, I know.

If you think for a minute that I am advocating heroin use, your gravely mistaken, I am a RECOVERING heroin addict and dont wish that kind of hell upon even my worst enemy. If someone is going to go out and use heroin its not because a certain song is about it (and if it is that person seriously needs to stop listening to music) no if that person is going to use it its because they WANT to not because of a song....

The Comfortably Numb guitar solo from Pulse is one of the best solos of all time. Absolutely fantastic. Quit comparing Led with Pink Floyd. They are both excellent bands and both stole music from American Blues artists anyway.

My favorite by Pink Floyd, and one of my favorites of all-time. The lyrics, the rhythm, all of the components of this song tied together make it purely amazing. I have felt comfortably numb before and somehow this song reminds me of being a child. It's just purely amazing!
