The Ballad of King Coyote |
| Flyin' in a helicopter |
| Watering the wildfire |
| And watching the coyotes running for the hills |
| Driving down the 405 now |
| Dead coyotes on the roadside |
| While the king stands watchin' from the shelter of the tree |
| Give Coldwater Canyon back to the coyotes |
| Twirling past the gay bars and markets |
| Past dealerships and pizza parlors |
| Past domesticated dogs that are choking on the leash |
| A big bad German Shepherd |
| The coyotes got him surrounded |
| And they tore that big dog into little bitty pieces |
| Give Coldwater Canyon back to the coyotes |
| Last night in Benedict Canyon |
| Coyote in a governor’s mansion |
| Standing in the middle of the big man’s living room |
| The Governor could not reach his shotgun |
| He offered King Coyote a pension |
| And the king tore the man’s heart right out of his chest |
| Give Coldwater Canyon back to the coyotes |
| Now the streets are empty |
| And the beach fronts and the studio lots |
| Forest grows over the freeway |
| And the vines cover whole city blocks |
| And all you can hear is that high and lonesome sound |
| Give Coldwater Canyon back to the coyotes |
| Give Las Vegas, Nevada back to the lions |
