Coyote

Walking backwards bitten black
Trainwreck iron slick

Shift the rails sliding quickly
Casket thrown off track

Fastest draw from the deck
Bad call bad day bounty lost

Hanging sun lightning crack
Pitchfork bloodied on your back

Lantern light pale of skin
Down on the bed again

Under cover reckless mess
Uncover the hair from your nest

Tracing fingers over rough
Done too quick ain't good enough

Down again and out like blue
Winner takes the fastest noose

Dead dog tongue steel gray
Gonna wake me up one day
