Lyrics:
(from live version)

...
I feel you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax (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 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 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

OK it's just a little pinprick
There'll be no more ahhh
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I don't believe it's working good
That will keep you going for 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 turn to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The dream is gone
The child is grown
I have become comfortably numb
