The Handshake |
| I just shook the handshake |
| I just sealed the deal |
| I’ll try not to let them |
| Take everything they can steal |
| People always told me Don’t forget your roots |
| I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots |
| You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows |
| The handshake’s stuck on the tip of my tongue |
| It tastes like death but it looks like fun |
| I was a loner |
| I was just waiting by myself |
| When you, warped temptress |
| Rose to bring me happiness and wealth |
| Black tears, black smile, black credit cards and shoes |
| You can call all the people you want |
| But it’s you who’s being used |
| LyricsUnder your black eyes, honey |
| Right beneath your nose |
| A curse on all creation |
| Every single thing you know |
| White smoke, white light, white marble on the floor |
| It would only take a few seconds of darkness to figure out what’s in store |
| Little girl |
| You convince yourself that you want it, but you don’t know |
| You keep trying to wash the blood from your hands, but it won’t go We’re gonna keep you on the run |
| We got the handshake under our tongue |
| We got the handshake under our tongue |
| We got the handshake under our tongue |
| We got the handshake under our tongue |
| We got the handshake x15 |
