Hey, Coyote Songtext

Hey, Coyote Songtext
"Where are you from?" She said
Staring a hole right through my traveller′s halo
A worker bee on the threshold
In the throes of it
I ducked in from a dark cloud
Before I could think, a return to order
I glanced a messenger on her shoulder
A sort of dog in ink
And it held my attention
For just a second too long
And I said, "Hey, coyote
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Hey, coyote
Paint me another way home"
You remind me of a dream that I forgot as I awoke
Yeah, you struck me like a thought
I thought I had until I spoke
She askеd my name
She said, "What's your name?"
And shе wrote it on my cup
There′s a separate metric here
That comes with the territory
There's a sort of beacon
Where there used to be a dull roar
'Cause if it beats, it bleeds
And if it bleeds, it leads
So I′ll follow you
I said, "Hey, coyote
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Hey, coyote
Paint me another way home"
If it′s blood that lights the mind
When there's sugar in it
Maybe appetite′s the father
If a child is born with wings and a raven's beak
You can lead a horse to water
I said, "Hey, coyote
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Hey, coyote
Paint me another way home"
Staring a hole right through my traveller′s halo
A worker bee on the threshold
In the throes of it
I ducked in from a dark cloud
Before I could think, a return to order
I glanced a messenger on her shoulder
A sort of dog in ink
And it held my attention
For just a second too long
And I said, "Hey, coyote
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Hey, coyote
Paint me another way home"
You remind me of a dream that I forgot as I awoke
Yeah, you struck me like a thought
I thought I had until I spoke
She askеd my name
She said, "What's your name?"
And shе wrote it on my cup
There′s a separate metric here
That comes with the territory
There's a sort of beacon
Where there used to be a dull roar
'Cause if it beats, it bleeds
And if it bleeds, it leads
So I′ll follow you
I said, "Hey, coyote
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Hey, coyote
Paint me another way home"
If it′s blood that lights the mind
When there's sugar in it
Maybe appetite′s the father
If a child is born with wings and a raven's beak
You can lead a horse to water
I said, "Hey, coyote
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Hey, coyote
Paint me another way home"
