I was in my new house placing daydreams Patching up the crack along the wall I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying Cause that's where I was when I got the call
When the first stone's thrown there's screaming In the streets there's a raging riot When it's 'burn the bitch', they're shrieking When the truth comes out it's quiet
So they killed Cassandra first Cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say Do you believe me now?
I was in my tower weaving nightmares Twisting all my smiles into snarls They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware What happens if it becomes who you are?
So they killed Cassandra first Cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they set my life in flames I regret to say Do you believe me now?
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time That I was onto something The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line They all said nothing Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul You can mark my words that I said it first In a mourning warning no one heard
I patched up the crack along the wall I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying Cause that's where I was when I lost it all
So they killed Cassandra first Caused she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say Do you believe me now?
I was onto something They all said nothing Bloods thick but nothing like a payroll Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul You can mark my words that I said it first In a mourning warning no one heard No one heard Not a single word was heard
When the first stone's thrown there's screaming In the streets there's a raging riot When it's 'burn the bitch', they're shrieking When the truth comes out it's quiet It's so quiet
