Red Cow - MeWithoutYou[00:00:00]

Before the Red Sea flood[00:00:10]

Beneath a cornhusk dawn[00:00:13]

We bid the Elkhorn run[00:00:15]

To a locomotive psalm[00:00:18]

Until the pale horse comes[00:00:21]

Along a rail withdrawn[00:00:23]

Clanging loudward on[00:00:26]

Clanging loudward on[00:00:28]

We bid the Elkhorn run[00:00:36]

Until the red cow comes[00:00:38]

I was a steadfast son[00:00:41]

With thoughts and hooves divided[00:00:43]

And on the arid ground[00:00:46]

Of thirsty Zion's hill[00:00:48]

Cold waters tumbled down[00:00:51]

Where the staff of Moses fell[00:00:54]

What Pharaoh spell[00:01:02]

What picture holds us now[00:01:04]

Behold the snake of brass[00:01:06]

The wind was blowing backwards[00:01:09]

Behold a golden calf[00:01:11]

Blighted leaves of Law[00:01:14]

Oh for the land we knew[00:01:16]

Before the frogs withdrew[00:01:19]

In the fragrant pomegranate blooms[00:01:22]

Where the tender locust flew[00:01:24]

Behind the milk-white tombs[00:01:37]

Behind the milk-tank cars[00:01:40]

We passed the North Platte yard[00:01:42]

On silver tracks unguarded[00:01:45]

Out past the sambar herds[00:01:47]

Out to the outcast birds[00:01:50]

In the rust of open wagons Lo[00:01:52]

The Blessed Virgin's likeness[00:01:55]

We watched the green figs fall[00:02:03]

From the Nebraska sky[00:02:05]

How much were even passive things[00:02:07]

Responsive to our watchful eye[00:02:09]

And let there be no doubt[00:02:13]

So many figs and pictures hold us[00:02:15]

In the wells of livestock vans[00:02:17]

With shells and sidewalk sands[00:02:20]

Iron mixed with oxygen[00:02:23]

As per the laws of chemistry and chance[00:02:25]

A shape was roughly human[00:02:28]

It was only roughly human[00:02:31]

Apparition eyes apparition eyes[00:02:33]

Knock apparition knock eyes apparition eyes[00:02:35]

Was he a violent man[00:02:59]

Well he had his genocidal moments[00:03:01]

Or penned by fiction's hand[00:03:04]

To whom could that phrase not apply[00:03:06]

How much are even lifeless sounds[00:03:08]

Responsive to our listening ear[00:03:11]

What Pharoah now what Paroah now[00:03:13]

Or Jew or picture holds us here[00:03:16]
