Song w/o Music 2

A BLUES FOR COYOTE

He's a coyote, baby                       
            out lookin' for a thrill                       
Just a trickster, honey                                   
            sittin' on top of the hill                       
He stays up all night                                   
            singing coyote songs                       
Travels through time                                   
            brings his friends along           
He's a coyote, baby                                                           
            out lookin' for a thrill                       

He's always been here
            ain't nothin' that he hasn't seen
Yeah, he's always been here
            standin' just betwixt and between
He's a rambler and a roamer
All around the universe
He might be greeted with a prayer
            might be greeted with a curse
He's always been here
            ain't nothin' that he hasn't seen

Now I met him in Jerusalem
I met him in old Santa Fe
We been in situations
            where we didn't want to stay
I seen him in a nightclub
I seen him in a church
I seen him in a hotel room
            and places much much worse
He's everywhere, baby
We even had a drink in Paris, France

He's a hungry critter
            he never gets his fill
He's a varmint, babe
            circlin' 'round the kill
He might be hunting
            'cause he's starving
Might be hunting
            'cause he's bored
If he's in your dreams, honey
            better try to find the door
'Cause he's hungry, baby
            he never gets his fill

He's a coyote, baby                                   
            out lookin' for a thrill                       
Just a coyote, honey                                   
            sittin' on top of the hill                       
He stays up all night                                   
            singing coyote songs                       
Travels through time                                   
            brings his friends along           
He's a trickster, baby                                                           
            out lookin' for a thrill.
