Attention Attention

Attention, attention, get down on the floor
Don't reach for your pockets, don't run for the door
Attention, attention, it's urgent, it's real
The cameras are rolling, the envelopes sealed
Attention attention, by the way did I mention
The stories I hear are the stories I tell
Like jumping over buildings and sneaking outa hell
Intention, retention, it's all in your head
That greedy little mistress, they tied in in your bed
Attention attention, by the way did I mention
Nothing bout me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm going crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I'll never tell em where the bodies are buried
Keeps them coming back every day
Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul
Attention attention 'cause this ain't a stunt
The judges are racist, the juries corrupt
The shelves are all empty but the seats are all filled
You're a shiny new penny, I'm a hundred Dollar bill
Attention attention, by the way did I mention
Nothing bout me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm going crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I'll never tell em where the bodies are buried
Keeps them coming back every day
Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul
Attention, attention
Attention, attention
They're just villains in my mind doin' time
Nothing bout me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm going crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I'll never tell em where the bodies are buried
Keeps them coming back every day
Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul
Oh no, oh no, they're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no, they're just matches burning holes in my soul
