    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 sensations overwhelming,
    Give me a long kiss goodnight,
    And everything will be alright,
    Tell me that I won't feel a thing

    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

    Drain the pressure from the swelling,
    This sensations overwhelming,
    Give me a long kiss goodnight,
    And everything will be alright,
    Tell me Jimmy, I won't feel a thing

    Give me novacaine
