Handshake Drugs - First Version
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
The handshake drugs I bought downtown
Livin' poorly, I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
Was feelin' alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night
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
Oh the 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
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
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
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
The handshake drugs I bought downtown
Livin' poorly, I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
Was feelin' alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night
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
Oh the 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
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
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
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?
