Handshake Drugs (First Version)

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
The saxophones
Started blowing me down
I was buried in sound
And the taxi cabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
The handshake drugs I bought downtown

Feeling poorly
I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
I was feeling alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn’t that night

Oh it’s ok 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 ok 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

And the taxi cabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

I 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 ok 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
