Coyote
Music: Tsuchiya Masami
Lyrics: Issay

A red crow shows me down an unknown alley
To the raucous ruin of a carnival, he led me

Sell your shadow, says a clown, over-familiar
In his purple hair, a monkey laughed

Where's the exit?

Pecking at my memories, a Halloween bird comes to attack
But when I run away, toward the Ferris wheel, my shadow is gone

Where'd he go?

Twilight story in kaleidoscope colors
At the center of the labyrinth of my soul
Wrapped in the endless dusk
I feel like a lost child
My heart is singing, my heart is dancing

Without a shadow, you can't go back, says a scarecrow
There's a mob of charlatans, but not one has a shadow

I just want to go home

In the kaleidoscope colors of dusk
When my tears fell in a tortured rage
A coyote with a rainbow mane
Drew close to me
Holding my shadow in his mouth
Inviting me to the exit

Can I really return
From this world
The red crow
Winked at me
