Handshake Drugs - Live
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
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 do you want me to be?
Oh, 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
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?
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 do you want me to be?
Oh, 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
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?
