Lyrics

Single version

[Chorus] All my friends are heathens, take it slow (In the city, boy, in the city) Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse [Verse 1] Welcome to the room of people who have rooms of people That they loved one day, locked away Just because we check the guns at the door Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades You'll never know the psychopath sitting next to you You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?" But after all I've said, please don't forget [Chorus] All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse [Verse 2] We don't deal with outsiders very well They say newcomers have a certain smell You have trust issues, not to mention They say they can smell your intentions You'll never know the freak show sitting next to you You'll have some weird people sitting next to you You'll think "How did I get here, sitting next to you?" But after all I've said, please don't forget (Watch it, watch it) [Chorus] All my friends are heathens, take it slow (In the city, boy, in the city) Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse [Bridge] All my friends are heathens, take it slow (Watch it) Wait for them to ask you who you know (Watch it) Please all my friends are heathens, take it slow (Watch it) Wait for them to ask you who you know [Outro] Why'd you come? You knew you should have stayed (It's blasphemy) I tried to warn you just to stay away (Wouldn't listen to me) And now they're outside ready to bust (And guess what?) It looks like you might be one of us
