Novocaine

Oh I want to be 

Dead !

Waiting for the drilling 

To begin 

Dead bodies 

Don't feel a thing 

So I'm told 

Beginning to be 

Numb 

Listening to the 

Oldies 

reminding me 

Of the clouds of smoke 

And

 Playing the guitar

And singing 

In the coffee house

Now the Valium and the 

Novocaine

Are kicking in 

Joni Mitchell singing 

And I heard she 

Had a stroke 

What's it all about 

I wonder
