I walked in the garden and what did I see Fresh blood on some feathers and an old coyote Smiling and growling, looked straight in my eyes Said “ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies”
Oh where did you come from, how long will you stay Like a curious cat, I kept firing away He had a great story, that much I could tell He said “I am from heaven and I am from hell”
“For decades and decades I've hunted and roamed But I go incognito no shape of my own Sometimes I am human and rather well known Sometimes I’m the whisper on your nights alone”
I’ll say, can you see It's not about hope It's not about truth Don't be naïve
Just come dance with me I’ll keep you safe Give you all you can take I’ll make you happy
I spun on my heal and I ran toward the street He was so close behind me I could feel his heart beat I turned round to face him but he took to the sky And a dozen old blackbirds started to cry
They said “Ask him no questions, he'll tell you no lies” They said “Ask him no questions, he'll tell you no lies”
