Novocaine

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
