Lyrics
Take away the sensation inside Bittersweet migraine in my head It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind I can't take this feeling anymore Drain the pressure from the swelling This sensation's overwhelming Give me a long kiss goodnight And everything'll be alright Tell me that I won't feel a thing So give me Novacaine Out of body and out of mind Kiss the demons out of my dreams I get the funny feeling that's alright Jimmy says it's better than here I'll tell you why Drain the pressure from the swelling This sensation's overwhelming Give me a long kiss goodnight And everything'll be alright Tell me that I won't feel a thing So give me Novacaine Oh, Novacaine Drain the pressure from the swelling This sensation's overwhelming Give me a long kiss goodnight And everything'll be alright Tell me, Jimmy, I won't feel a thing So give me Novacaine
