Cassandra Lyrics by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Familia

2016

[Verse 1]
You've got snakes in your red hair
They won't let you go
Taking the blame for the fall of the world
The cross that you bear
Leaves you out in the cold
Putting the blame on the girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Always so beautiful
While so many gone before
They came to silence you forevermore
But I'll believe in you, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Cassandra, Cassandra
You know what the future holds
(But no one believes you)
Cursed to be prophet
They think it's a lie you told
(But why would you need to?)
Cassandra, Cassandra
If I could just sit with you
We two could conspire
And make them listen
You only tell the truth
[Verse 2]
You're fated to madness
It's out of your hands
Destined to say what no one wants to know
I'm knocking you up
Like the hourglass sands
Why can't they just let you go?
[Pre-Chorus]
Always so beautiful
While so many gone before
They came to silence you forevermore
But I'll believe in you, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Cassandra, Cassandra
You know what the future holds
(But no one believes you)
Cursed to be prophet
They think it's a lie you told
(But why would you need to?)
Cassandra, Cassandra
If I could just sit with you
We two could conspire
And we'd make them listen
You only tell the truth
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Cassandra, Cassandra
You know what the future holds
(But no one believes you)
Cursed to be prophet
They think it's a lie you told
(But why would you need to?)
Cassandra, Cassandra
If I could just sit with you
We two could conspire
And we'd make them listen
You only tell the truth
