This is a nice song, with a pretty familiar melody, but its still a good song
I really like Green Day's new album, they slightly change their sound every album
with is a good thing, but of course there is still that 'touch of green day' in here
so you always know its them :) def one of my favourite bands

Lyrics
Take away the sensation inside
bittersweet migraine in my head
It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind
I can't take this feeling any more
Drain the pressure from the swelling
this sensation's overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
Give me novacaine
Out of body and out of mind
kiss the demonds out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling and that's alright
Jimmy says it's better than here
Drain the pressure from the swelling
this sensation's overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing
Give me novacaine
