เพลง 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

Says, 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 fair-weather 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 will only take a few seconds of darkness

To figure out what's in store, little girl

You only convince yourself that you want

But you don't know

You keep on 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
