Lyrics The Cassandra Complex

The Cassandra Complex

Motherad

Night falls over the city like a cloak of invisibility

Wrapping around me, wrapping me round

It's penetrating, it's reaching down, down, down, down

It's grabbing my genes and it's twisting, it's twisting

I can't see you, but I know you're there

You're the one who's nursed the human race for centuries,

for centuries

I want to leave you, I can't wait to run away

You had your chance, you twisted me

But you didn't win

Win

You didn't win

You think that I can't live outside you

You surrounded everything with safety

But I won't eat your food, I won't drink your milk

I want to grow old and cold and lonely

As long as you don't win

Win

You didn't win.
