Canary in the coal mine

...I hear you're feeling down

I can ease your pain

Get you on your feet again...

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 saying...

I....Have become comfortably numb

O.K.

Just a little pin prick

There'll be no more aaaaaaaaahh!!

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...

The child is grown

The dream is gone

I...have become comfortably numb
