Lyric Novocaine

You can take back all your secrets
We ll divide up all the lies
Keep all the pictures in their frames
Just cut me out, yeah, I ll be fine
Sell 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
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)
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 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…
