The Tragically Hip Vapour Trails Lyrics

t__illation's been replaced
By interstate, brickface and Coffee-Mate
And by a list of phone calls you'll like to make
Where you could sit on the edge of your bed
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
d___ this sleepy weather, he said
As he marched in sopping wet shoes
Through rainpools evaporating
Says in this sign I'll conquer you
I pulled the car on over
To give you a ride
There's nothing uglier than a man hitting his stride

Past Mexicans all dressed in beige shirts, leaning over their hoes
Now the morning's over it's time to let them sprinklers hose

Past hills of chambermaids' dark bare arms and fields of muscles quilted to the bone
Right now I'm flying over, yeah right now I'm flying 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)

Throw away the rudder
Throw away the rudder
Throw away the rudder
Throw away the rudder
Throw away the rudder
Throw away the rudder
