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 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 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) Your mother´s gonna visit for a couple of 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 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 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?
