Mother says I was a great mistake

Life is hard
And so am I.
You better give me something
So I don't die

Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out

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.

Guess whose 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.


Eels, Novocaine for the soul.
