Pink’s emotionele reis naar het verleden werd abrupt onderbroken toen zijn management de deur van zijn hotelkamer openbreekt en een arts hem een spuit geeft met een medicijn dat hem uit zijn door drugs veroorzaakte malaise zal breken, zodat hij later op de avond nog op het concert kan verschijnen.

Songtekst:

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
I Can ease your pain
and get you on your feet again
Relax
I’ll 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’re 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 the 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 aaaaaaaaaah!
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’re 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
and I’ve become comfortably numb
