COYOTE
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

Texas oil refinery erupts
extinction-level event
saw on a bathroom TV
eh, they're all fine I guess

Had brunch with my grandpa
he's been dead for 33 years
"why don't you text me, scumbag?"
that's what he whispered in my ear

When the lines of reality
are fadin'
and the world's gone mad
your dreams will rise to the occasion

coyote on my roof
and he seems to know my fear
damn thing almost gave me a gripper
the way that he appreared

high school sweethearts and movie idols
all trying to be with me
this room of lost toys
is where I prefer to be

When the lines of reality
are fadin'
and the world's gone mad
your dreams will rise to the occasion

So I drove down to Texas
to make a counting of the dead
they weren't extinct, just a little rattled
mushroom cloud still overhead

I asked my long-dead grandmother
"is grandpa's cell number new?"
I'll just text him to stay in touch
but the coyote sees right through

When the lines of reality
are fadin'
and the world's gone mad
your dreams will rise to the occasion
