Novocaine Lyrics

"Novocaine"
(performed by Laura Benanti & Jonathan Jackson)

A red river of wine won't drown you
No amount of time could wash you away
No holy prayer's gonna save me
This love affair is like a shallow grave

Ooooh
Gimme a shot
Strong as you got
Baby...
'Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
No, no no no
Broken in two
Strung out on you
I gotta numb the fire flowing through my veins
Ooh sweet novocaine
Novocaine

I'm paralyzed, I forget you
Alone and hypnotized by what you do
To me
And time after time I let you defeat me
Time I found a place you can't reach me yeah

Gimme and shot
Strong as you got
baby
'Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
No, no no no
Broken in two
Strung out on you
I've gotta numb the fire flowing through my veins
Yeah, with sweet novocaine
Yeah
no baby

Oooh
Gimme a shot
Strong as you got
Baby
'Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
No, no no no
Broken in two
Strung out on you
I've gotta numb the fire flowing through my veins
Oh, with sweet novocaine

Red river of wine won't drown you
No amount of time could wash you away
