Vapour Trails - The Tragically Hip

Titillations been replaced, by interstate brickface &coffemate

And by a list of phonecalls, you’ll like ta make

Where you could sit on the edge of your bed

And you could stare into your own shoes

And in the pools of light there, go wherever you choose

Just rig up a complication, and if it derails

You can throw away the rudder, &float away like vapour trails

There’s nothin funnier than pride, in an utterly confident stride

So I pulled the car on over, to give you a ride

Damn this sleepy weather he said, as he marched in soppin’wet shoes

Through rainpools evaporatin', says in this sign I’ll conquer you

I pulled the car on over, to give you a ride

But there’s nothin’uglier than a man hittin’his stride

Past Mexicans all dressed in beige shirts, leanin’over their hoes

Now the mornin’s over, it’s time to let those sprinklers hose

Past hills of chambermaids’dark bare arms

And feilds of muscles quilted to the bone

Right now I’m flyin’over, Ya right now I’m flyin’home

Where I can sit on the end of my bed

And I can stare into my own shoes

And in the pools of light years, go wherever I choose

And throw away the rudder, float away on vapour trails

I rigged up a complication, totally derailed

So I throw away the rudder, float away like vapour trails

I pulled the car on over, (It's time to let those sprinklers hose)

WooЂ¦WooooЂ¦.Woooo — Throw away the rudder (4x, 1x, 2x)
