Handshake Drugs Lyrics - Wilco

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?
