[Verse 1]
Through the haze of empty words
Like wisps of smoke against the blur
Reading signals in your eyes
While jazz notes paint the midnight sky
Been dancing 'round the truth so long
These coded messages gone wrong
[Chorus]
Smoke signals in the night
Say what you mean but keep it light
Playing games with what we hide
Behind these notes we softly slide
Oh, smoke signals in disguise
Tell me baby, are these lies?
[Verse 2]
Smooth as bourbon, sharp as brass
These conversations never last
Your body language tells me more
Than words you whisper through closed doors
Been reading between your lines
Like bebop solos intertwined
[Bridge]
Mixed messages float away
Like blue notes on a rainy day
Can't decode what's in your mind
While shadows dance and stars align
[Verse 3]
Every gesture, every pause
Speaking volumes without cause
This cat and mouse game that we play
As saxophone notes fade away
The truth gets lost in what we say
Like smoke that slowly drifts away
[Outro]
These smoke signals in the air
Tell stories that we'll never share
Just whispers in the night
Fading out of sight
