Old Coyote

Old Coyote waits out there

With his gray-brown hair and his three-mile stare

I walk backwards trhough the air

Devil may care, the devil may care now

Ring around rosey game

Always ends the same way

We all fall down

Get up now, baby, get up now, baby

It's your song, it's your song playing

Vision of Mary in converse shoes

She's putting down roots and stars she shoots out

I am crying on her couch

Talking in tongues when the words won't come out

Ring around rosey game

Always ends the same way

We all fall down

Get up now, baby, get up now, baby

It's your song, it's your song playing

Old Coyote's faking sleep

Not counting sheep on the watch he keeps

We bring springtime into bloom inside these rooms

And outside under the moon

Ring around rosey game

Always ends the same way

We all fall down

Get up now, baby, get up now, baby

It's your song, it's your song playing
