Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was missing in action

On the side of a carton

I was taken in a Datsun

From a street in Acton

I was missing in action

On the side of a carton

I was taken in a Datsun

From a street in Acton

[Verse 2]

I was sippin' on a Rubicon

Thinkin' 'bout where I come

It's all this for revolution

Cuttin' up the coupons

Saving for a telephone

Can I call home, please can I go home?

Sippin' on a Rubicon

Thinkin' 'bout where I come

It's all this for revolution

Cuttin' up the coupons

Saving for a telephone

Can I call home, please can I go home?

[Verse 3]

Painted nails, sunsets on horizons

Palm tree silhouette, smells amazing

Blindfolds under home-made lanterns

Somewhere in the Amazon they're holding me ransom

Painted nails, sunsets on horizons

Palm tree silhouette, smells amazing

Blindfolds under home-made lanterns

Somewhere in the Amazon they're holding me ransom

[Verse 4]

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

[Verse 5]

Smoking on a Benson

Trying to get me undone

Let me go, I don't want your attention

Under submission

Out of frustration, I'll do it

I'll scream for the nation

Smoking on a Benson

Trying to get me undone

Let me go, I don't want your attention

Under submission

Out of frustration, I'll do it

I'll scream for the nation

[Verse 6]

Painted nails, sunsets on horizons

Palm tree silhouette, smells amazing

Blindfolds under home-made lanterns

Somewhere in the Amazon they're holding me ransom

Painted nails, sunsets on horizons

Palm tree silhouette, smells amazing

Blindfolds under home-made lanterns

Somewhere in the Amazon they're holding me ransom

[Verse 7]

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

Hello, this is M.I.A

Could you please come get me?

[Verse 8]

Minutes turned to hours and became our dates

And we shared raindrops that turned into lakes

Bodies started merging and the lines got gray

Now I'm looking at him thinking, "Maybe he's okay"

Minutes turned to hours and became our dates

When we shared raindrops that turned into lakes

Bodies started merging and the lines got gray

Now I'm looking at him thinking, "Maybe he's okay"

[Verse 9]

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me

Hello, this is M.I.A

It's okay, you forgot me
