Lyrics Equinox - Cass McCombs

Equinox

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
The wedding is followed by gifts
Catherine de Medici lives
Silverfish quilting testicle
Despotic owl conducts the wolves
And mulls attacking a fox
Equinox
Equinox
Red birth mark
Equal light
Equal dark
North to south
Thoth with pen
Let us give praise and thanks, Amen
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 small pox
Equinox
