Walkin cross the desert, it aint no fun
Too hot in the daytime, too much sun
Lefty says well cross at nighttime
Like my people always have done
Keep moving, quit nagging
Walk, dont run
I ask Lefty, Whyd we bring so much cheese?
Coyotes, Buddy, just you wait and see
Coyotes eat anything, Buddy, long as its free
Suppose they want a little something extra, Lefty?
Might be you and might be me
Well the deserts dark and the deserts deep, stars everywhere
Something like you never see sittin in your easy chair
Watch out, Lefty, something strange is comin down
Look out! Its a bird, its a plane, its a flyin tin can
Got those coyotes on the run
Out steps a green dog, as green as he can be
Or maybe she, cause when theyre wearin space suits
You cant tell, cause you cant see
In my world, toads are purple, mice are blue, and I declare
A red cat is really something new
Im so far from home, can you tell me what should I do?
Do you think there is room for me in this strange land?
Im sorry I scared your friends
I write poetry, teach astronomy, how about me?
In my world everyone is a friend
Shaking hands, saying how do you do
Guess youll notice we all look the same, its so tame
Id rather take a chance here with you
Lets ride, says Lefty, lets see how fast this crate can fly
Va Va-va-voom, says Lefty, watch the coyotes scatter, and watch the towns go streaking by
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino just wont do
Go west, you green dog, Hollywoods the place for you
Green dog, green dog, green dog, youre so rare, so rare
