Novocaine for the soul

by Eels

Album: Beautiful freak [#1]

Life is hard, and so am I:
You'd better give me something so I don't die.
Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out.  {x2}

Life is white and I am black,
Jesus and his lawyer are coming back.
Oh my darling, will you be here
Before I sputter out. (x3)

Guess who's living here with the great undead.
This paint-by-numbers life is fucking with my head,
Once again.

Life is good and I feel great,
'Cause mother says I was a great mistake.
Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something to fill the hole
Before I sputter out. (x5)
