Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Grim Augury

LRC by lzh, from jiangxi pingxiang

Both our families after gathering

We're cutting a baby out

With my grandmother's heirloom

The 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 you

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
