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 give away my pride

It's hard to laugh and cry

Live and die every night

Keep your rolodex of friends

And all the remnants can be mind

I guess there'll be no happy endings

When once upon?

Is doing time

There's a different kind of meaning now

To livin' on a 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

(Let's get this straight)

You burned my favorite sweats from high school

Tried to sell my muscle car

(That's not OK)

You're mother's gonna visit for

A couple months this year

They say you do the crime

You do the time

It's all so clear

I tell my self I (feel no pain)

But I'm feeling the paint (walk away)

That's running through my veins

I've changed my name to novacaine

(Feel no pain)

Novacaine

Well things ain't what they used to be

It's a sleepless self-help century

I'm up to here with Dr Phil

And the modern man in me?

I feel no pain
