A/N: yeah…. I had to do this one. If you have read to the Second Exorcist plotline, you'll understand. If not, well, you saw Kanda singing Van Morrison. I don't own DGM.

Kanda was pissed.

He kinda hated this (no brainer). He hated having to sing. He hated that Cross escaped it. He hated that Lenalee was in charge. He hated that he couldn't say "no" to her. AGH, SCRATCH THE LAST ONE!

Hating everyone and everything to high heaven, he was informed he was to sing "Comfortably Numb" by Van Morrison.

Verse One

Hello (hello, 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 feelin' down.
But I can ease your pain, get you
On your feet again.

Relax (relax, relax)
I need some information
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

Refrain
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 swelled
just like two balloons
Now I have that feeling once again
I cannot explain,
you would not understand
This is not how I am!
I have become comfortably numb.

Verse Two
Okay (okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
It's no reason to
(Ahhhhhhh)
Though you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up (stand up, stand up)?
I do believe it's working, good!
That'll keep you going through the show
C'mon, it's time to go.

Refrain
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 caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger my on it, now.
The child has grown, the dream has gone.
And I…
Have become
Comfortably numb.

Kanda got down, happy this wasn't as annoying as his last few. Annoying, but ever-slightly-so-less.

"Yay for Kanda! Good job!" He che'd in reply. "Who wants to go next?"

"Me!" Road waved her hand in the air, happy to get a chance to show off her amazing flouncing. Lenalee shrugged and handed the mic off to her.

Before leaving the table, Road blew a kiss to Allen, still curled in the Emo Corner. At that motion, he curled deeper in on himself and got his trusty butter knife out.

A/N: Another short one. Ugh. Ah well. You'll live. Hope you like this, and look into the deeper meaning. It's mostly symbolic of things. I meant the verses to be like the scientists speaking and the verses his own inner cries. Can we say emo?

Anyway, the fleeting glimpse part was supposed to be the "ghost" that Kanda and Alma came to know so well when they attempted escape from the scientists.

Speaking of which, two things: Alma Karma means "Fortunate Soul" in Spanish. Creepy.

And, I've been researching cloning and stem cell research for a social studies project. Guess who one of my pro-cloning and stem cell research people is? Alex Epstein. I'm scared. He's super gung-ho about research and cloning, too, so it's like "AHH DGM IS TRUE!" which is either really scary, or really great. I'm not sure, but I'm totally sending him a letter. Look up pictures of him, too. The likeness is terrifying. (Shudders)

Please review, as always! Thanks!
