Coyote plays and shadows the moon He's all alone in the midnight air He runs like never before Towards the hum and the roar Will he find a home and stay?
And all the while, the city sleeps It won't be long before they take to the streets They'll be dripping in things Oh, the shine and the ring Of all the pirated gold What can be bought can be sold
On and on coyote runs Against the hum and roar No sight, no sound, no sacred ground Just people wanting more
Chorus
Hey, there's a light out on the horizon It's shining Another day, to find another way Yah, the moon is high The tide is out but it's rising It's turning again So take a chance Be lost or borne away
Coyote wakes and runs with the wind Heading west he's returning again He hits the edge of the town And then he circles around Don't know if he will stay
And the people sleep with open eyes There's a predator just outside You can hear it's roar With the crack of every door Day and night He's ready to fight
On and on the city goes It's racing more and more No sight, no sound, just sacred ground Can stop its hum and roar
Chorus
Run, coyote run And never never go astray It may be night But dark is light and night is day Don't change your coat Or change that pretty shade of gray Don't let the world go change your ways
Be strong Don't give in to those shiny, fancy, empty things They'll only strip your heart Your mind Your soul and your wings Escape the hum escape the roar Now while you can And let your scent be known to man
So go Oh little children, go and don't you be afraid Chance the current and the loss Or be borne away Take back yourself Take back the night Take back today And then show the world the way
