Which Pink Floyd song features the lyrics No one told you when to run?

They are an incredible band, but it is only a form of opinion.
What is the meaning to the song 'Comfortably Numb'?
Great question! There's actually a few ways to look at it.
- The song is from Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall, in which an archetypal rock star named "Pink" grows increasingly isolated as a result of traumatic events of his past and present. These events lead to his building a metaphorical "wall" to separate him from the outside world, using these events as "bricks". The song "Comfortably Numb" shows his isolation after he builds the wall.
- Primary songwriter Roger Waters and director Alan Parker approached the film project "The Wall" as a feature-length music video, with the songs telling the story (which is fleshed out quite a bit more with the accompanying visuals). During "Comfortably Numb", Pink is still isolated, but we also observe him shaving his head, eyebrows, chest-hair, etc. This symbolizes Pink's reversion to a fetal state, out of which he will be reborn as a proto-fascist later in the film ("In The Flesh" and "Run Like Hell").
- Like many of the songs on The Wall, Waters drew upon his own personal experiences when writing the lyrics. In the case of "Comfortably Numb", he recalled being very ill with stomach cramps while the band was on tour, and being administered a tranquilizer (the lyric "just a little pinprick" alluding to the injection). The medicine made his hands feel "like two balloons" and took away his pain ("there is no pain, you are receding").
- Most of the songs on The Wall were written by Waters alone; once his concept was complete, he presented the song cycle to the band, who then added their parts with strict supervision from Waters. In the place of "Comfortably Numb" was a shorter song called "The Doctor" that barely resembled the finished product. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour added a chord progression for the chorus, and of course added his iconic guitar solos. At that point it was renamed "Comfortably Numb", and was one of the only tracks on "The Wall" that was co-written.
Why is this important, you ask? Well, at the time The Wall was being recorded, Gilmour and Waters hated each other bitterly. They'd barely talk to each other, much less cooperate in the songwriting process. And after The Wall, the band released another Waters project The Final Cut, after which Waters left the band for good. So in a way, "Comfortably Numb" could be seen as the last time the two primary songwriters of Pink Floyd worked together, before their own wall separated them for 25 years.

Here is an example from personal experience: I wanted a recording of the part of the movie "Groundhog Day" at the first time the clock radio switches on at 6 AM and "I Got You Babe" plays followed by the DJs talking about Groundhog Day. It took me a little while to figure out the best way to do it, but I ended up converting the entire movie to mp3 with a downloaded shareware conversion app, then I imported it into Audacity, a high-quality audio manipulator that's totally free, spliced it down to the minute I wanted, then exported it back to mp3. Thanks to Windows' Task Scheduler, my computer now automatically plays that minute of radio airplay every Groundhog Day at 6 AM!

What are some good lyric quotes by Pink Floyd?
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.
And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
