Coyote Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm out here sipping from the bottle of a Molotov cocktail
I’m setting fire to my lungs
Catch a kiss with a cyanide under my tongue
[Chorus]
And if it kill me, it'll kill me
So let it kill me but I'm never gonna live a lie, no
Let the willing go the willing
I got a taste for a life of dining alone
[Post-Chorus]
’Cause I'm not here again
Here again, I'm not here
No, I'm not here again
Not here anymore
[Verse 2]
I'm out here loading a gun
This lovesick hungry wild coyote, run, run, run
You thought the money would save you, one in the chamber
Blood in the water, my love
[Chorus]
And if it kill me, it'll kill me
So let it kill me but I'm never gonna live a lie, no
Let the willing go the willing
Time to say goodbye, I'm dying alone
[Post-Chorus]
Because I’m not here
No, I’m not here
Because I'm not here
I’m not here
Because I'm not—
Anymore
[Outro]
'Cause I'm not here again
No, I’m not

But then the song...
