Ed Harcourt - Ca**andra lyrics

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 While so many gone before They came to silence you Forevermore But I'll believe in you, oh, oh Ca**andra, Ca**andra 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?) Ca**andra, Ca**andra If I could just sit with you We two could conspire and 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 hourgla** sands Why can't they just let you go? Always so beautiful While so many gone before They came to silence you Forevermore But I'll believe in you, oh, oh [Ca**andra, Ca**andra 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?) Ca**andra, Ca**andra If I could just sit with you We two could conspire and we'd Make them listen You only tell the truth] x2
