Why does every street here look the same? 

Yet there's so many here, see the faces, they're glad they came 

A city sucking all the life in me 

So I've been using you to get what I need 



It's not so typical, so hypocritical for me to act this way 

But novocaine sets in and I pretend the real is fake 

See the (marcher?) strike up his band to play 

The music screams in me but I don't hear a single thing 



Oh, novocaine 

Just get it out of me, it's getting hard to breathe again 

I'm going insane 

So in the state I'm in, I'd give in to almost anything 



I'm not the monster that you claim I am 

If I could shed some light in here, then I could make you understand 

It's not this atmosphere that makes you become 

What it is you hate the most, 'cause being dead is feeling numb 



Oh, novocaine 

Just get it out of me, it's getting hard to breathe again 

I'm going insane 

So in the state I'm in, I'd give in to almost anything 

Novocaine 

This is the way I feel, just another vicious (?) 



Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, (inside of me?) 

The weight of it can crush you, still you (?) 

There's light here at this tunnel's end 

All I can do is (?) give it away till you feel something 

And let the light in 



I'll keep on searching here 'cause I think I could 

Just get me off the streets of hollow Hollywood 

All systems in place [repeat]
