Hi. Is anyone out there? I can hear something, but it’s all muffled. What’s going on? I’m sleepy. {zonk}
Where was I? Heck, where AM I? Who am I? Oh good grief, I’m sleepy again. {zonk}
Well, this is going absolutely nowhere. I’m so bored. {zonk}
Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, come on down,
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax, relax, 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’s 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.
