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
 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 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
