Charlatan in Red (A Fox’s Wedding) Lyrics by The Forgetmenauts
Bestiary
2019
[Verse 1] Lost my little girl to the foxes Found her dress hanging by the briar Suspended like a fruit beneath its collar A tuft of fur as red as autumn fire [Verse 2] The henhouse in the yard was torn to splinters Nothing left but feathers, bones, and blood By the shallow pool in the meadow A trail of pawprints lead into the wood [Chorus 1] If you’re caught out the rain And the sun shines in your eyes Keep running 'til the light is gone And if they catch you by the eye And smile their wicked smiles Don't stop until you've passed the dawn [Verse 3] I followed their tracks into the darkness Running blind through aspen, oak, and pine Bewildered by the blooming of their lanterns Foxfire strewn like breadcrumbs in a line [Chorus 2] If you fall down to the ground Start running on all fours Remember what you’re running from And if they take you to their lair So deep under the ground Remember me and run, run, run! Oh, run Remember me and run! [Verse 4] And in a clearing in the forest I saw before me that which I had feared My daughter, a foxbride in the sunlight Her fur was wet with rain, her face with tears [Chorus 3] And if you wear your wedding dress for that charlatan in red (And if you wear your wedding dress for that charlatan in red) Then you’re already lost, lost, lost (Then you’re already lost, lost, lost) And when your bright coat starts to fade (And when your bright coat starts to fade) And your kits come out to play (And your kits come out to play) Don’t let them steal another daughter away (Don’t let them steal another daughter away) And if you wear your wedding dress (And if you wear your wedding dress) Then you’re already lost, lost, lost And when your bright coat starts to fade And your kits come out to play Don’t let them steal another daughter away
