Wilco - Handshake Drugs Lyrics

Wilco – Handshake Drugs Lyrics 

I was chewin’ 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

Saxophones started blowing me down
I was buried in sound
Taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
I felt alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn’t that night

Oh it’s okay 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 okay 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 I was chewin’ 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

Saxophones started blowin’ me down
I was buried in sound
The taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

Oh it’s okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that’s the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?

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

Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?
