Lyrics Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Cassandra

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 bare leaves you out in the cold

Putting the blame on the girl

Always so beautiful

Like so many gone before

They came to silence you

Forevermore

But I'll believe in you, oh, oh

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

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?

Always so beautiful

Like so many gone before

They came to silence you

Forevermore

But I'll believe in you, oh, oh

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

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
