The Thin Ice (Live In Berlin, 1990) - Roger Waters

Hello, Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on now I hear you're feeling down Well, I can ease your pain And get you on your feet again 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 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 I have become comfortably numb O.K. Just a little pin prick There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! 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 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 turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb 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 turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb

Momma loves her baby And daddy loves you too. And the sea may look warm to you babe And the sky may look blue But ooooh Baby Ooooh baby blue Oooooh babe. If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice.

When I passed you in the doorway Well, you took me with a glance I should have took that last bus home But I asked you for a dance Now we go steady to the pictures I always get chocolate stains on my pants And my father he's going crazy He says I'm living in a trance But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night It's three o'clock in the morning And I'm on the streets again I disobeyed another warning I should have been in by ten Now I won't get out 'til Sunday I'll have to say I stayed with friends But it's a habit worth forming If it means to justify the end Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night And I'm walking home The last bus is long gone But I'm dancing in the moonlight Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night Dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night

Sitting here No answers near All I know Before the curtain dropped You left the show Shallow water Rippled by tears Shallow water Mirrored my fears Silent raindrops Soothin my skin Still the answers Still locked down within Lying here Future unclear All I know Before the curtain dropped You left the show Shallow water Rippled by tears Shallow water Mirrored my fears Silent raindrops Soothin my skin Still the answers Still locked down within Shallow water Mmmm... Shallow water Rippled by tears Shallow water Mirrored my fears Silent raindrops Soothin my skin Still the answers Still locked down within Shallow water Rippled by tears Shallow water Mirrored my fears Silent raindrops Soothin my skin Still the answers Still locked down within Shallow water
