Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can (1)________ me.
Is (2)__________ anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you’re (3)______________ down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on (4)________ (5)________ again.

Relax.
I (6)________ (7)________ (8)______________________ first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me (9)__________ 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 (10)________ you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands (11)________ (12)________ like two balloons.
Now I got (13)________ (14)______________ (15)________ 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 --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may (16)________ a little sick.

Can you (17)__________ up?
I do believe it’s working. good.
That’ll keep you (18)__________ for the show.
Come on it’s (19)________ to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A (20)______________ ship’s (21)__________ on the horizon.
You are (22)________ coming through in waves.
Your (23)________ move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I caught a (24)________________ glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to (25)________ but it was gone.
I (26)____________ put my (27)____________ on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become (28)______________________ numb.
