"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"
