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 feelin's
Go on and give away my pride
It's hard to laugh and cry
Live and die, every night
Keep your rollodex of friends
And all the remnants can be mine
I guess they'll be no happy endin's when
Once upon, is doin' time
There's a different kinda meanin', now,
To livin' on a prayer
Oh, some don't seem to notice
And the rest don't seem to care
/CHORUS\
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
But I'm feelin' the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hangin' on the ropes of hope
It's gettin' hard to cope you know
When you're the needle
That's runnin' through my veins
I changed my name to novocaine
You put my favorite belongin's
In a box in the garage (let's get this straight)
You burned my favorite sweats from high school
Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK)
Ya motha's gonna visit for
A couple months this year
They say you do the crime, do the time
It's all so clear
/CHORUS\
Well thangs ain't what they used to be
It's a sleepless help-self century
Man, I'm up ta here, wiht Dr. Phil
And the modern man in need
I tell myself to feel no pain
But I'm fellin' the pain
(Walk away) CAN'T WALK AWAY!
I'm hangin' on the ropes of hope
It's gettin' hard to cope ya know,
When you're the needle
That's runnin' through my veins
I changed my name to novocaine
Novocaine --feel no pain!
