Moving so slow in the blue perfume

Verse 1

Red bulb hanging from a copper wire

Log drum humming like a low coal fire

You lean your shoulder on the brickwork cold

Watching the heavy blue vapor unfold

No talking here, just the soles of feet

Shuffling quiet on the damp concrete

Pre-Chorus

One step forward, two steps back

Shadows bending near the speaker stack

Can you read what I do

When the sub drops through

Chorus

Smoke signals in the room

Moving so slow in the blue perfume

Your eyes answer what my shoulders do

Smoke signals in the room

Verse 2

Water running down the bottle glass

Nobody counting how the minutes pass

Sweat on your collarbone, salt on the skin

Rhythm deciding where the turn begins

Sway to the shaker, lean to the side

Nothing to cover, nowhere to hide

Pre-Chorus

One step forward, two steps back

Shadows bending near the speaker stack

Can you read what I do

When the sub drops through

Chorus

Smoke signals in the room

Moving so slow in the blue perfume

Your eyes answer what my shoulders do

Smoke signals in the room

Bridge

No names spoken, no promises made

Just two silhouettes in the amber shade

The floor keeps talking under our toes

Whatever this means, the morning knows

Chorus

Smoke signals in the room

Moving so slow in the blue perfume

Your eyes answer what my shoulders do

Smoke signals in the room
