Premonition K
The associates of oblivion sweetly divining
Research engines learning and burning
The crowd invisible all gathering around
A name on a gravestone...ah does it ring a bell?
Call a hansom cab or travel electric driverless
The undertakers will never be out of a job
Still we perused a spirit photograph all joined hands at the table
Some accomplice tampering with things
Well I remember the man from across the hall
In the gaslight memory of wavering lamp and candle
Sudden chill and broken bone snap
Something caught in Novembers dark curtain
Something that flew into a mirror and vanished
The cats and dogs were all going crazy
I could hear them even under the water
Lightning lashed from out of a storm
The tempestuous flight of another two souls
Hideous hag ridden by entity
Horrible little men who dig away at our life
Skull of a tiny bird
A feather falls out of an empty room
Mercury drops out of ellipse
I hurry down to the station but there are no trains home
A final boarding call yet none will alight
Premonition K for our boys at the front
Premonition K for the babe in the cradle
Premonition K for the girls left behind
Premonition K available now
The associates of oblivion sweetly divining
Research engines learning and burning
The crowd invisible all gathering around
A name on a gravestone...ah does it ring a bell?
Call a hansom cab or travel electric driverless
The undertakers will never be out of a job
Still we perused a spirit photograph all joined hands at the table
Some accomplice tampering with things
Well I remember the man from across the hall
In the gaslight memory of wavering lamp and candle
Sudden chill and broken bone snap
Something caught in Novembers dark curtain
Something that flew into a mirror and vanished
The cats and dogs were all going crazy
I could hear them even under the water
Lightning lashed from out of a storm
The tempestuous flight of another two souls
Hideous hag ridden by entity
Horrible little men who dig away at our life
Skull of a tiny bird
A feather falls out of an empty room
Mercury drops out of ellipse
I hurry down to the station but there are no trains home
A final boarding call yet none will alight
Premonition K for our boys at the front
Premonition K for the babe in the cradle
Premonition K for the girls left behind
