Lyrics for Handshake Drugs
I was chewin' gum for something to do The blinds were being pulled down on the dew Inside, out of love, what a laugh I was looking for you Saxophones started blowing me down I was buried in sound Taxicabs were driving me around To the handshake drugs I bought downtown To the handshake drugs I bought downtown They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown I looked like someone I used to know I felt alright And if I ever was myself I wasn't that night Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be, exactly What you want me to be Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be Exactly what you want me to be Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do The blinds were being pulled down on the dew Inside, out of love, what a laugh I was looking for you Saxophones started blowin' me down I was buried in sound The taxicabs were driving me around To the handshake drugs I bought downtown To the handshake drugs I bought downtown Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be Exactly what do you want me to be? Exactly what do you want me to be? Felt like a clown They were translating poorly I looked like someone I used to know And if I ever was myself, I wasn't that night Exactly what do you want me to be? Exactly what do you want me to be?
