Shinedown - Attention Attention Lyrics

(Attention, attention)

Attention, attention
Down on the floor
Don't reach for your pockets
Don't run for the door
The tension, the tension
It's urgent, it's real
The camera's rolling
The envelope is sealed
Attention, attention
By the way, did I mention?

The stories are here
Are the stories, I tell
Like jumping over buildings
That's sticking out of Hell
Retention, retention
It's all in your head
That pretty little mistress
That's hidin' in your bed
Attention, attention
By the way, did I mention?

Nothin' about me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm goin' crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I will never tell them where the bodies are buried
Keeps them comin' back every day

Oh no, oh no
They're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no
They're just matches burnin' holes in my soul

Attention, attention
Cause this ain't a stunt
The judges are racist
The jury's corrupt
The shelves are all empty
But the seats are all filled
A shiny new penny
On my hundred dollar bill
Attention, attention
By the way, did I mention?

Nothin' about me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm goin' crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I will never tell them where the bodies are buried
Keeps them comin' back every day

Oh no, oh no
They're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no
They're just matches burnin' holes in my soul

(Attention, attention)
(Attention, attention)
(They're just villains in my mind doin' time)

Nothin' about me is ordinary
My friends all say I'm goin' crazy
I don't hear a word that they say
Cause the voices in my head are legendary
But I will never tell them where the bodies are buried
Keeps them comin' back every day

Oh no, oh no
They're just villains in my mind doin' time
Oh no, oh no
They're just matches burnin' 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 burnin' holes in my soul

(Attention, attention)
(Attention, attention)
