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 screamin'

In the streets there's a ragin' riot

When it's burn the ***** 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 somethin'

The family the pure greed the Christian chorus line

They all said nothin'

Blood's thick but nothin' 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

'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 onto somethin'

They all said nothin'

Blood's thick but nothin' 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 screamin'

In the streets there's a ragin' riot

When it's burn the ***** they're shrieking

When the truth comes out it's quiet

It's so quiet
