Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
The stories I hear are the stories I tell
Like jumping over buildings and sneaking outta 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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Oh no, oh no
They're just villains in my mind doing time
Oh no, oh no
They're just matches burning holes in my soul
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Oh no, oh no
They're just villains in my mind doing time
Oh no, oh no
They're just matches burning holes in my soul
[Verse 8]
Attention, attention
Attention, attention
They're just villains in my mind doin' time
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Oh no, oh no
They're just villains in my mind doing time
Oh no, oh no
They're just matches burning holes in my soul
[Verse 11]
Oh no, oh no
They're just villains in my mind doing time
Oh no, oh no
They're just matches burning holes in my soul
[Verse 12]
Attention, attention
Attention, attention
