Lyrics

We used to live in Iowa
We used to sit out back
There used to be a pond with Canada geese
And then the cornfields
As far as you can look or see from here

We’d play a tune sometimes
Or talk about our lives
I remember when it was quiet
We ran out of things to say
You’d hear their little voices

Coyotes…in the cornfield
Keeping…us company

There used to be o six of us
That ran the strip at night
There used to be some houses
We’d stay clear out of sight
You’d get a sense, a sickening kind of dread

Remember how the night felt
Cool electric sparks
The moon looking down
In just the way it does
Feeds your very soul with desire

Coyotes…in the cornfield
Singing…songs for free

yay oh oh oh yay oh oh yay oh oh
