Hey, Coyote

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Where you from? she said Staring a hole right through my traveler's halo A worker bee on the threshold, in the throes of it I ducked in from a dark cloud [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I said, hey, coyote How long can you stand in the doorway? Hey, coyote Paint me another way home [Verse 3] 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? Shе wrote it on my cup [Verse 4] 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 If it beats it bleeds, and if it bleeds it leads, so I'll follow you [Chorus] I said, hey, coyote How long can you stand in the doorway? Hey, coyote Paint me another way home [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] I said, hey, coyote How long can you stand in the doorway? Hey, coyote Paint me another way home
