Handshake Drugs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was chewing 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
They were translating 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

[Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 1]
I was chewing 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?
