Grim Augury (Feat. Vic Chesnutt) |
Both our families after gathering |
We’re cutting a baby out |
With my grandmother’s heirloom antler-handled carving knife |
They were under her grand chandelier |
Where we all, together, have shared holiday dinner |
But it was your father that was holding the knife |
Yeah, I begged you not to make me tell ya |
Yeah, I pleaded with you to, to leave it alone |
I told ya |
I told you that you didn’t want to know |
What went on in my horrible dream |
I was peering in through the picture window |
It was a heart-warming tableau |
Like a Norman Rockwell painting |
Until I zoomed in |
I was making noises in my sleep |
But you wouldn’t believe me when I told ya |
That I wasn’t with someone in my dream |
Catfish were wriggling in blood and gore in the kitchen sink |
Yeah, I told ya |
I told ya |
I told you |
Now sweetie, please promise me |
That you won’t sing |
This sad song, grim augury |
