Lyrics
I was chewing 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 The handshake drugs I bought downtown ...poorly, I felt like a clown I felt like someone I used to know I 's feeling alright And if I ever was myself, I wasn't that night It's okay for you to say what you want from me I believe it's the only way for me to be exactly What you want me to be It's okay for you to say what you want from me I believe it's the only way for me to be Exactly what you want me to be Oh, I was chewing 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 The saxophones started blowing me down I was buried in sound The taxi cabs were driving me around To the handshake drugs I bought downtown To the handshake drugs I bought downtown I 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 Oh, it's okay for you to say what you want from me I believe it's the only way for me to be Exactly what you want me to be Exactly what do you want me to be? Exactly what do you want me to be?
