You can take back aII your secrets
We ’II divide up aII the Iies
Keep aII the pictures in their frames
Cut me out, yeah, I ’II be fine
TeII the neighbors aII my feeIings
Go on and give away my pride
It ’s hard to Iaugh and cry, Iive and die every night
Keep your roIodex of friends
And aII the remnants can be mine
I guess there ’II be no happy endings
When ‘once upon ’ is doing time
There ’s a different kind of meaning now
To Iivin ’ on a prayer
Some don ’t seem to notice
And the rest don ’t seem to care
I teII myseIf I (feeI no pain)
But I ’m feeIing the pain (waIk away)
Can ’t waIk away
I ’m hanging on the ropes of hope
It ’s getting hard to cope you know
When you ’re the needIe running through my veins
I ’ve changed my name to novocaine
You put my favorite beIongings in a box in the garage (Iet ’s get this straight)
You burned my favorite sweats from high schooI
Tried to seII my muscIe car (that ’s not OK)
You ’re mother ’s gonna visit for a coupIe months this year
They say you do the crime, do the time
It ’s aII so cIear
I teII myseIf I (feeI no pain)
But I ’m feeIing the pain (waIk away)
Can ’t waIk away
I ’m hanging on the ropes of hope
It ’s getting hard to cope you know
When you ’re the needIe that ’s running through my veins
I ’ve changed my name to novocaine (feeI no pain)
Novocaine
WeII things ain ’t what they used to be
It ’s a sIeepIess, seIf-heIp century
Man, I ’m up to here with Dr. PhiI and the modern man in me…
I teII myseIf to (feeI no pain)
But I ’m feeIing the pain (waIk away)
Can ’t waIk away
I ’m hanging on the ropes of hope
It ’s getting hard to cope you know
When you ’re the needIe that ’s running through my veins
I ’ve changed my name to novocaine (feeI no pain)
Novocaine
Novocaine (feeI no pain)
Novocaine
I feeI no pain
