Equinox
Cass McCombs
[Verse 1]
Of all the creatures in the wood
One law is commonly understood
Deep in the heart of Fontainbleau
The marriage of a whore and Jew
The bride's true dowry black rocks
Equinox
[Verse 2]
The wedding is followed by gifts
Catherine de Medici lives
Silverfish quilting testicle
Despotic owl conducts the wolves
And mulls attacking a fox
[Chorus]
Equinox
Equinox
Red birth mark
Equal light
Equal dark
North to south
Thoth with pen
Let us give praise and thanks, Amen
[Verse 3]
Celestial bodies transform to flesh
And commune with the wedding's guests
They twist and thrust and whine and grope
As if under a microscope
In hope to to catch smallpox
Equinox
