Novocaine Stain (Live)

From Interstate 81996

Written by Isaac Brock

Lyrics

Novocaine Stain (Live)

When I can work out how it was Then I'll tell you TV stained my memories, yeah I don' 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 it 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 But it all seems a little abrupt No I don't like this change of pace
