The Handshake - Live

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 fairweather 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 x15

@TheGingerbeard20 no shit, he's the lead guitarest

[nerj15]

My idols. Seriously they have it all figured out. If I ever see them live I will weep the whole time and if i died after the performance that's ok because my life would have been complete

[theodoresuave13]

@TheUnshamedMovement You are batshit crazy. Just because bands have depressing lyrics it does not mean they sold their souls. I am a born again Christian, and I have no problem with MGMT. In fact, I went to one of their shows last year.

[TheUnshamedMovement]

@creazyfroag Btw, I don't listen to MGMT anymore since I've become a born-again Christian. Once I've humbled myself to Lord Jesus Christ He has opened my eyes to these things. MGMT aren't the only band who has "sold their soul" to the devil. Many artists and bands have done this.

If you want to know more PM me please. Time is running out :/

[TheUnshamedMovement]

@creazyfroag Yeah it is. The lyrics are very clear and indirect but since they have the hippy thing going on people just ignore it and say its just them on drugs. If you look closely at the lyrics some are very depressing. Take Time To Pretend for example. They are talking about how they must choose to ignore the truth and pretend because once you sell your soul you learn secrets. More importantly, you realize that the bible is true but they cant tell you b/c thats part of the code.

[creazyfroag]

Whats the meaning of the song? because i really thing is something about sell the soul...but im not sure

sorry for my bad inglish :(

[celebrant9]

@TheGingerbeard20 He is but I've noticed Andrew is getting better. Perhaps James is giving him tutorials :p

[teasdalea1]

@TheGingerbeard20 he's the lead guitarist!

[KoRnLOSTHead]

@TheGingerbeard20 and bro, Andrew is singing lead vocals while playing guitar. You try that. Plus, you know you aren't as sexy as he is.

[cestdelicieuxx]

If I was there...I'd cry. No doubt, just bawl my eyes out. It's so amazing.

[TheGingerbeard20]

james is a better guitarist than andrew. there... i said and feel better for having said it
