Red Cow (Golden Calf Version) ​mewithoutYou

Before the Red Sea flood
Beneath a cornhusk dawn
We bid the Elkhorn run
To a locomotive psalm
Until the pale horse comes
Along a rail withdrawn
Clanging loudward on
Clanging loudward on

We bid the Elkhorn run
Until the red cow comes
I was a steadfast son
With thoughts and hooves divided
And on the arid ground
Of thirsty Zion’s hill
Cold waters tumbled down
Where the staff of Moses fell

What Pharaoh spell
What picture holds us now?

Over the land we knew
Before the frog withdrew
In the fragrant pomegranate blooms
Where the tender locust flew
