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
|
|
Under 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]
