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 will 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 and that's alright

Jimmy says it's better than here

I'll tell you why



Drain the pressure from the swelling

The sensation's overwhelming

Give me a long kiss goodnight

And everything will be alright

Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing

So give me Novacaine
