Lyrics

Call it intuition, call it worry, fear, or dread
I can't tell if it's coming from my gut, my heart, or head
I'm not sure what I'm waiting for, but something's in the wind
I've checked my pulse, I've checked the news, I'll check the locks again

Whoa another storm rolling in
Whoa I'm seeing bad omens
Bad omens

Every time I look around
I'm waking up from nightmares
Filling me with doubt
Been running all my life
Now my luck is running thin
Why do I keep seeing
Bad omens
Every time I look around
I'm waking up from nightmares
Filling me with doubt
Been running all my life
Now my luck is running thin
What do they portend?
Bad omens

I keep pulling the tower, my tea leaves read the same
A black dog slipped his leash and now he's barking at my gate
The candle wicks won't light and I've covered all the mirrors
Not even sage and sweetgrass smoke can help assuage my fears

Whoa another storm rolling in
Whoa another damned omen
Bad omens

Every time I look around
I'm waking up from nightmares
Filling me with doubt
Been running all my life
Now my luck is running thin
Why do I keep seeing
Bad omens
Every time I look around
I'm waking up from nightmares
Filling me with doubt
Been running all my life
Now my luck is running thin
What do they portend?
Bad omens

Is it superstition, is it all just in my head?
I'm not sure who to trust since I am so often misled
This could just be anxiety, I shouldn't rule it out
I want to get a grip but someone's got to tell me how

Whoa another storm rolling in
Whoa another bad omen
Bad omens

Every time I look around
I'm waking up from nightmares
Filling me with doubt
Been running all my life
Now my luck is running thin
Why do I keep seeing
Bad omens
Every time I look around
I'm waking up from nightmares
Filling me with doubt
Been running all my life
Now my luck is running thin
What do they portend?
Bad omens
Bad omens
Bad omens
