Lyrics

This hand shake determines
If the deal is broken
Look in their eyes
And lie, lie, lie

Soon enough the world will end
You'll be left with nothing
Dressed in your pinstripe suit
And ruby red shoes

Your words float on
Up and over
Your word holds no
merit to me

Pour just one last drop
Hook them one by one
You're such a modern day demigod

Your words float on
Up and over
Your word holds no
merit to me

Put these airs to rest
Find your peace in innocence

Your words float on
Up and over
Your word holds no
merit to me

You're such a modern day demigod
