The Handshake

is the ninth track off Oracular Spectacular.
== Lyrics ==
 
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, said "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 
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 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake 
We got the handshake
