[00:-0.50]MGMT - The Handshake
[00:19.98]
[00:21.98]I just shook the handshake
[00:25.36]I just sealed the deal
[00:28.76]I'll try not to let them
[00:31.80]Take everything they can steal
[00:35.73]People always told me
[00:38.58]Don't forget your roots
[00:42.52]I know I can feel them
[00:45.04]underneath my leather boots
[00:48.57]
[00:50.13]You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds
[00:53.45]and you watch it go
[00:56.17]Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost
[01:00.29]when the wind blows
[01:03.01]The handshake's stuck on the tip of my tongue
[01:06.48]It tastes like death but it looks like fun
[01:09.51]
[01:14.32]I was a loner
[01:15.98]I was just waiting by myself
[01:19.80]When you, warped temptress
[01:21.99]Rose to bring me happiness and wealth
[01:26.62]Black tears, black smile,
[01:30.03]black credit cards and shoes
[01:33.71]You can call all the people you want
[01:36.75]But it's you who's being used
[01:40.59]
[01:41.71]Under your black eyes, honey
[01:44.05]Right beneath your nose
[01:47.37]A curse on all creation
[01:50.18]Every single thing you know
[01:53.96]White smoke, white light,
[01:57.43]white marble on the floor
[02:01.37]It would only take a few seconds of darkness
[02:04.65]to figure out what's in store
[02:09.38]Little girl
[02:10.98]
[02:13.89]You convince yourself that you want it,
[02:17.19]but you don't know
[02:20.03]You keep trying to wash the blood from your hands,
[02:24.14]but it won't go
[02:27.10]We're gonna keep you on the run
[02:30.42]We got the handshake under our tongue
[02:33.79]We got the handshake under our tongue
[02:37.20]We got the handshake under our tongue
[02:40.67]We got the handshake under our tongue
[02:44.11]We got the handshake x15
