You can take back all your secrets
We'll divide up all the lies
Keep all the pictures in their frames
Cut me out yeah I'll be fine
Tell the neighbors all my feelings
Go on and give away my pride
It's hard to laugh and cry
Live and die every night
Keep your roller decks of friends
And all the remnants can be mine
I guess there'll be no happy endings
When once upon a time
There's a different kind of meaning now
To living on prayer
Oh some don't seem to notice
And the rest don't seem to care
I tell myself I feel no pain
But I'm feeling the pain walk
Away can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope
You know
When you're the needle running through my veins
I've changed my name to novocaine
You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage
Burn my favorite sweats from high school
Tried to sell my muscle car that's not okay
Your mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year
They say you do the crime do the time it's all so clear
I tell myself I feel no pain
I'm feeling the pain walk
Away can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope
You know
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
I've changed my need to know novocaine
Novocaine
Well things ain't what they used to
Be it's a sleepless self help century man
I'm up to here with doctor phil
And the modern man in me
I tell myself to feel no pain
But I'm feeling the pain
Walk out away
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope
You know when you're the needle
That's running through my veins
I've changed my name to novocaine
Novocaine
Novocaine
Feel no novocaine
I feel no pain
Okay
The twenty first century is a twenty first century man
Who got even touched with himself
That's alright I understand
Yeah what I gotta do is understand
