Hey Coyote by Mipso 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
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
