Vapour Trail Skank (Version 2)

Verse

Ceiling sweats and it rains back down

Breath goes up in a grey cloud

Strobe cuts slow so the arm's a smear

Trail behind us, gone when we're here

Smoke machine coughs, hangs in the beam

Shuffle step cuts through the haze like a seam

Heel to toe on the two and the four

Vapour hangs where the feet just tore

Pre-Chorus

Where'd the arm go, where'd it just been

Strobe holds shapes that we ain't seen

Trail keeps moving after we stop

Body's behind but the ghost's still hot

Chorus

Vapour trail skank, vapour trail skank

Smear in the strobe where the whole floor sank

Vapour trail skank, vapour trail skank

Gone before it lands, still it stays, still it's blank

Verse

Condensation drips off the pipe overhead

Lands on a neck, nobody said

Haze holds the shape of the step we just done

Skank leaves a print like the strobe's took one

Sweat off the ceiling, mist off the chest

Trail off the hand doing less then less

Light catches limbs in a slow motion smear

Body moves on but the streak stays here

Pre-Chorus

Where'd the arm go, where'd it just been

Strobe holds shapes that we ain't seen

Trail keeps moving after we stop

Body's behind but the ghost's still hot

Chorus

Vapour trail skank, vapour trail skank

Smear in the strobe where the whole floor sank

Vapour trail skank, vapour trail skank

Gone before it lands, still it stays, still it's blank

Bridge

Whole room's breathing one long cloud

Can't see the exit, don't need it now

Trail on trail till the shapes all blend

One skank stretching, no start, no end

Chorus

Vapour trail skank, vapour trail skank

Smear in the strobe where the whole floor sank

Vapour trail skank, vapour trail skank

Gone before it lands, still it stays, still it's blank
