The Handshake lyrics

Artist  : Mgmt 
Song : The Handshake



 Send "The Handshake" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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
