bruce hornsby – fortunate son/comfortably numb lyrics

Loading...

i’m sitting wondering, watching the parade
in my ever-present chair
people laughing and smiles all around me
balloons and paper in my hair
there’s a man in a car with the top down
waving wildly at me
the poor son of a gun, i know he’s thinking
better him, him than me

i’ve stared down the devil, and had to look away
called out to the angels, but no-one ever came
laid down odd and even, but double zero played
that’s alright, i’m a lucky one
such a fortunate son

i was always taught well, taught well
to be the strong one and keep it inside
but sometimes i sit beside the freeway
and howl out at the dark, dark sky
i might just have to go out and burn one
have a drink or a few
fade away in a cloudy haze of smoke
and give the old man’s best salute

i’ve stared down the devil, and had to look away
called out to the angels, but no-one ever came
laid down odd and even, but double zero played
that’s alright, i’m a lucky one
such a fortunate son

i might just have to go out and burn one
have a drink or a few
fade away in a cloudy haze of smoke
and give the old man’s best salute

i’ve stared down the devil, and had to look away
called out to the angels, but no-one ever came
laid down odd and even, but double zero played
that’s alright, i’m a lucky one
such a fortunate son

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, ok, ok
just a little pinpr-ck
there’ll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
you may feel a little sick
can you stand up? stand up?
i do believe it’s working, good
that’ll keep you going for the show
come on it’s time to go, 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 sayin’
when i was a child
i caught a fleeting glimpse, 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
dream is gone
oh, i have become comfortably numb

i might just have to go out and burn one
have a drink or a few
fade away in a cloudy haze of smoke
and give the old man’s best salute

i’ve stared down the devil, and had to look away
called out to the angels, but no-one ever came
laid down odd and even, but double zero played
yes i’m that, i’m a lucky one
such a fortunate son
such a fortunate son

such a fortunate son
i’m a lucky one
such a fortunate son
such a fortunate son
