Novocaine
Alice Cooper · The Eyes Of Alice Cooper
Got three stitches in my head
It hurt like hell
I saw the blood, I felt the pain
I'd like to feel it once again
'Cause I don’t feel it
Then I got stung, right on the face
I screamed and ran around the place
It hurt like hell
I swoll right up, I burned for days
I’d like to feel it once again
Cause when you touch me
When you hold me
When you kiss me
I don’t feel anything
When you touch me
When you hold me
When you kiss me
It’s just like Novocaine
I remember every cut and scrape
I’ve been numb so long
Something’s wrong
So I'll take anything
I slap my face, I pull my hair
Just to see if something’s there
It should hurt like hell
I miss the pinch, I miss the pain
That shock sensation in my brain
Cause when you touch me
When you hold me
When you kiss me
I don’t feel anything
When you touch me
When you hold me
When you kiss me
I don’t feel anything
When you touch me (when you touch me)
When you hold me (when you hold me)
When you kiss me
I don’t feel it
When you touch me (when you touch me)
When you hold me (when you hold me)
When you kiss me
It’s just like Novocaine
I don’t feel anything
I don’t feel it
I don’t feel it
I don’t feel it
Well, I don’t feel it
No, I don’t feel it
I don’t feel it
