Spanish Handshake Lyrics

I admit I know exactly what to do
To get everything I want to get from you
And I admit I know exactly what to say
To make you dig a little deeper when you pay

If less is more
Why am I knocking at your door?
I can't take it anymore

I am an addict, an animal
I am my father's son
I am an addict, an animal
I prefer life on the run

So tell me what do I get in return
Another lesson that you know I'll never learn

If less is more
Why am I knocking at your door?
I can't take it anymore

I am an addict, an animal
I am my father's son
I am an addict, an animal
I prefer life on the run

And when I'm done
Kill, kill, gone

He's a writer for the written
And a relic in the sea
He's a perfect factory mold
I have created another me

And when I get home this morning
I plan to finally settle down
And lick my wounds from a lifetime
Spent scraping my stomach
On the ground

I am an addict, an animal
I am my father's son
I am an addict, an animal
I prefer life on the run

I am an addict
I am an addict
I am an addict
I am an addict

I am an addict, an animal
Scraping my guts off the ground

Scraping my guts off the ground

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
