Novocaine for the Soul - Eels

I think I might have messed up Last night I talked about my past Somehow you make me say stuff that I never have I'm in new territory Somehow it kinda feels like home I stayed until the morning, usually I go Tell me what did you do I was kinda getting used to Feeling down bad, uptight Sticking to my hardline Tell me that I'm alright Lighten up and live a little Ice-cold blood type Talking but I'm tongue-tied Looking to my left, right Now you've got me in the middle I'm in and out of my mind Had every part of me try Telling you "No way" I'm thinking maybe my veins need a little novocaine I'm feeling for the first time I'm feeling for the first time Got good at being apathetic Thinking with a one-track mind I've said the word but never meant it, now I'm thinking twice When you touch my body, it's an out-of-body experience Don't know how you managed I thought all my damage was permanent Feeling down bad, uptight Sticking to my hardline Tell me that I'm alright Lighten up and live a little Ice-cold blood type Talking but I'm tongue-tied Looking to my left, right Now you've got me in the middle I'm in and out of my mind Had every part of me try Telling you "No way" I'm thinking maybe my veins need a little novocaine I'm feeling for the first time I'm feeling for the first time (Tell me what do you do) (I was kinda getting used to) Feeling down bad, uptight Sticking to my hardline Tell me that I'm alright Lighten up and live a little Ice-cold blood type Talking but I'm tongue-tied Looking to my left, right Now you've got me in the middle I'm in and out of my mind Had every part of me try Telling you "No way" I'm thinking maybe my veins need a little novocaine I'm feeling for the first time

Found drifting between Hours you let go You're losing feeling Novocaine bones Fading next to me In a passenger seat Release, tempting Blood on my teeth Not my fault, no one's real I'm disappearing Slip my hands from the wheel Let's see where it goes We have Novocaine bones We have Novocaine Touch me from the backseat (fingers grazing) Intoxicating (dripping conceit) So much that it makes me (feel so empty) Forget how it feels to come undone (it's so easy) It's so easy to give up Dead end smile (I let go) Blood on your teeth Empty eyes overdose You're frozen solid Beautiful comatose Silence keeps calling Not my fault, no one's real I'm disappearing Slip my hands from the wheel Let's see where it goes We have Novocaine bones We have Novocaine We have Novocaine bones We have Novocaine We have Novocaine
