Lyrics

To the coyote lying dead
On the side of the highway
I've been through your land countless times
Without asking your leave
But now it seems that I am free
To go on my way
Where you left the broken with only
Burning father's sun
To grieve and bleach your bones
As white as the moon
As white as the yellow moon
To the vulture flying low
Along the line of the highway
You won't have to wait very long
To eat your fill
'Cause the river of grey
That divides the horizon
Will surely leave a carcass in its wake
A twisted golden braid
Of fur and meat
Turning black
Black as the road
As black as the grey road
As black as the grey road
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That meets itself
On the far side of the world
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That eats its tail
Beneath our feet
To the man selling blankets
On the side of the highway
The sign says you're friendly and nice
And I've no doubt that's true
But one of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
A song that your grandfather knew
But your father forgot
And buried
And was paved over by the grey road
The same road
Where you walk now
As nice as a man
As nice as the last man
As nice as the last man
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That meets itself
On the far side of the world
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That eats its tail
Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That meets itself
On the far side of the world
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That eats its tail
Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet
That meets itself
That eats its tail
Beneath our feet
