Lyrics for Song: Coyote
Lyrics for Album: Live 1969 [2002]
Coyote goes to the top of the hill
Doin' the things the coyote's will
Staring at the sky, at the moon
You know he starts to howl
Coyote goes to the mountain top
Looks over down at the river, says "what a drop"
No tame dogs is gonna take my born
Coyote at the top of the hill
Doin' the things the coyote's will
You gotta cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
Jackal goes to the top of the hill
Doin' the things that jackal's will
Staring at the moon
You know he starts to howl
Wild dog up on mountain top
Blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
No tame dogs is ever
Ever gonna take my bone
Jackal up on the top of the hill
Doin' the things that jackal's will
Cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
Coyote on top of the hill
Ooohhh, doin' the things the coyote's will
Staring at the sky, looks at the moon
He starts to howl
Coyote up on the mountain top
Blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
Says no tame dogs is ever
Ever gonna take this bone
Coyote up on the mountain top
Says "what a drop"
You gotta cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
You gotta cast the first stone

Coyote
Coyote stands as a compelling example of the Velvet Underground's experimental approach during their live performances in 1969. Recorded during a period of significant transition for the band, the track captures the raw energy and improvisational spirit that defined their concerts at the time. The song showcases the group's ability to blend rock structures with avant-garde textures, creating a dynamic soundscape that engaged audiences beyond their studio recordings. As part of the Live 1969 collection, this performance highlights the band's evolving musical identity and their capacity to reinterpret material in a live setting. The recording remains a testament to the group's enduring influence on alternative rock and their willingness to explore new sonic territories while maintaining their distinctive artistic vision. |
