Numb Numbs

Hey, doc,

I need to drop a dime

On your numb numbs

You carrying the usual

Them pure Novocain

I need more numb numbs

As I'm feeling pain all the time

Something damn real is reaching

For once was mine

Asking me to come back to life

But I'm not ready for reality

To come back on line

Hey how comes

You so insensitive

You sampling your own

Numb numbs

I suppose

You see me as a mess

But you know

I'm good for your business

Damn, doc

No need be rude

I know you don't care

Why you shaking doc —

Yes I got money

It's here in my underwear

So I need need a Novocain refill

To fill my veins

To numb numbs my brain

Doc, why you never cringe

When I say

Walking here I found a syringe

Hey how comes

You so insensitive

You sampling your own

Numb numbs

I suppose

You see me as a mess

But you know

I'm good for your business

Well pin cushion

I'm the real dum dums thinkin

One in the arm can't do me harm

And I learned why

I was the Block Boy dealin

With best numb numbs

Now I'm feeling pain all the time

Something damn real is reaching

For once was mine

Asking me to come back to life

But I'm not ready for reality

To come back on line

Don't cringe

My dear rig fiend

But that syringe you hold

Is mine

I suppose

You see me as a mess

But you know

I'm good for your business

I do care

It's just hard now

To have to share

My numb numbs
