I've changed my name to Novocaine
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
But I'm feeling the pain
But I'm feeling the pain
(Walk away)
(Feel no pain)
They say you do the crime, do the time, it's all so clear
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
It's getting hard to cope you know
I tell myself to feel no pain
I've changed my name to Novocaine
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
Can't walk away
I guess, there'll be no happy endings when 'Once upon' is doing time
You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage
I've changed my name to Novocaine, Novocaine
(Feel no pain)
There's a different kind of meaning now to livin' on a prayer
When you're the needle running through my veins
Can't walk away
It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night
(Walk away)
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
(Feel no pain)
It's a sleepless, self-help century
Novocaine, Novocaine
Keep your Rolodex of friends and all the remnants can be mine
(Let's get this straight)
Burned my favorite sweats from high school, tried to sell my muscle car
Your mother's gonna visit for a couple of months this year
Well things ain't what they used to be
(Walk away)
(Feel no pain)
I tell myself I
I tell myself I
Man, I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me
But I'm feeling the pain
Oh some don't seem to notice and the rest don't seem to care
(Feel no pain)
Can't walk away
Tell the neighbors all my feelings, go on and give away my pride
(That's not okay)
