 Struggling with Novacaine? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

With dirt on your knees and blood in your teeth
You want life to lead you to believe in something, but it's coming
The numbing

So we dive on into the deeper end
For a blissful kiss from Judas's lips, but it's coming
Oh yeah, the numbing

Super Novacaine
(You're dead as dead can be)
You won't feel a thing

Sleepwalking
(You're dead as dead can be)
You won't feel a thing

Analyzed and diagnosed
Overexposed to the undertow
You'll never know it's coming
The numbing

So you meditate or medicate
To maintain, what a getaway
But it's coming
Oh yeah the numbing

Super Novacaine
(You're dead as dead can be)
You won't feel a thing

Sleepwalking
(You're dead as dead can be)
You won't feel a thing

Super Novacaine
(You're dead as dead can be)
You won't feel a thing

Sleepwalking
(You're dead as dead can be)
Living in a dream

Super Nova-caine
(You're dead as dead can be)
You won't feel a thing

Sleepwalking
(You're dead as dead can be)
You won't feel a thing
