Benzocaine (Live from BBC Introducing at Glastonbury) Lyrics by IDLES
(Um, this song’s about drugs)
Oh benzocaine
(Ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha)
I think it’s a crime
(Ha-ha-ha)
That when you look in your baby’s eyes
You won’t see mine
You won’t see mine
(Ha-ha-ha)
(Yeah)
(Ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha)
The boredom creeps in jade
The memories will stay
The brain will start to fade
With God on benzocaine
Oh benzocaine
Oh benzocaine
Oh benzocaine
Oh benzocaine
(Ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha)
Chalk white
Gobshite
Bleeding gums
I thought the benzocaine was supposed to numb
(Ha-ha-ha)
Supposed to numb
Supposed to numb
Supposed to numb!
Oh benzocaine
Oh benzocaine (Oh benzocaine)
Oh benzocaine
