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 |
