Coyote Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Light the fire, fire
Wanna fill myself with all the smoke, oh
Boy, my body's tired
Pour some honey down my heavy throat (mmm)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And, oh, I wanna break that spell that he taught me
Kiss and tell but I stumble at the sound it makes
Would it shock me?
No one knows what I know

[Chorus]
I can hear you calling
For a taste of my body
I can hear you calling
I can hear you, coyote

[Verse 2]
In a blue haze, that we measure from your eyes to mine, I
It's a soul race, only one of us escapes alive, I

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And, oh, I wanna break that spell that he taught me
Kiss and tell but I stumble at the sound it makes
Would it shock me?
No one knows what I know
[Chorus]
I can hear you calling
For a taste of my body
I can hear you calling
I can hear you, coyote
Shoot the arrow
I can't see
(I) Shoot the arrow
I can't breathe
I can hear you calling
I can hear you, coyote

[Bridge]
Drive all night through the canyons
Sing to me with your secret little mouth
I'm just your companion
Loving me is just for show

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And, do you wanna pave the streets with my secrets
You're so mean to this tiny brittle heart
The road runs beneath you, but you've got nowhere to go

[Chorus]
I can hear you calling
For a taste of my body
I can hear you calling
I can hear you, coyote
Shoot the arrow
I can't see
(I) Shoot the arrow
I can't breathe
I can hear you calling
I can hear you, coyote

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
