Cassandra

I was in my new house placing daydreamsPatching up the crack along the wallI pass it and lose track of what I'm saying'Cause that's where I was when I got the callWhen the first stone's thrown there's screamin'In the streets there's a ragin' riotWhen it's, "Burn the bitch", they're shriekingWhen the truth comes out it's quietSo they killed Cassandra first'Cause she feared the worstAnd tried to tell the townSo they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to sayDo you believe me now?I was in my tower weaving nightmaresTwisting all my smiles into snarlsThey say what doesn't kill you makes you awareWhat happens if it becomes who you are?So they killed Cassandra first'Cause she feared the worstAnd tried to tell the townSo they set my life in flames, I regret to sayDo you believe me now?They knew, they knew, they knew the whole timeThat I was onto somethin'The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus lineThey all said nothin'Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payrollBet they never spared a prayer for my soulYou can mark my words that I said it firstIn a mourning warning no one heardI patched up the crack along the wallI pass it and lose track of what I'm saying'Cause that's where I was when I lost it allSo they killed Cassandra first'Cause she feared the worstAnd tried to tell the townSo they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to sayDo you believe me now?I was onto somethin'They all said nothin'Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payrollBet they never spared a prayer for my soulYou can mark my words that I said it firstIn a mourning warning no one heardNo one heardNot a single word was heardWhen the first stone's thrown there's screamin'In the streets there's a ragin' riotWhen it's "Burn the bitch", they're shriekin'When the truth comes out it's quietIt's so quiet
