Novocain Stain

From This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About1996

Written by Isaac Brock, Modest Mouse

Produced by Seasick Steve

Lyrics

Novocain Stain

When I can work out how it was Then I'll tell you TV stained my memories, yeah I don't think that she's Remember through sounds Remember through smells Remember through colors Remember through towns with fear and fascination On what was here and what's replacing them now Interchange plazas and malls And crowded chain restaurants More housing developments go up Named after the things they replace So welcome to Minnow Brook And welcome to Shady Space Well it all seems a little abrupt No I don't like this change of pace
