Verse 1
Red bulb humming on the plaster wall
Sub-bass rumbling through the narrow hall
You catch my gaze from across the wood
Moving just the way that you knew you would
Sweat on your neck where the low lights trace
Reading every turn in this crowded space
Pre-Chorus
Shoulder drops low on the heavy four
Cool draft blowing through the open door
Lift your hands up, let the shaker roll
Nothing left to carry in the heavy soul
Chorus
Smoke signals in the room
Moving where the low drum falls
Smoke signals in the room
Shadows sliding down the walls
No words needed, just the chest and the bass
Smoke signals in the room, holding this place
Verse 2
Cold glass sweating in my open hand
Bare feet shuffling on the drifted sand
Your collar pulls back with a quiet turn
Sweet grass rising with a slow, dark burn
Step to the left and you pull me in
Bassline settling inside the skin
Pre-Chorus
Shoulder drops low on the heavy four
Cool draft blowing through the open door
Lift your hands up, let the shaker roll
Nothing left to carry in the heavy soul
Chorus
Smoke signals in the room
Moving where the low drum falls
Smoke signals in the room
Shadows sliding down the walls
No words needed, just the chest and the bass
Smoke signals in the room, holding this place
Bridge
No talk, no clock, just the floorboards deep
Secrets only moving bodies keep
You give the sign with an easy breath
Drum keeps rolling till there is nothing left
Chorus
Smoke signals in the room
Moving where the low drum falls
Smoke signals in the room
Shadows sliding down the walls
No words needed, just the chest and the bass
Smoke signals in the room, holding this place
