lyrics

You were a crook; stole your image from god
oh! but your heart -- no your heart don't belong
You were a doll with your smile painted on
A wax figure shell kept your secrets embalmed

Cassandra of mine, no one heard what you said; all of your warnings would leave me for dead.
I was a fool. I tried to break through your walls only to find they were already down.

But oh! It's a mystery how you dance without a love
and the sorrow that you feel bought a lifetime of trust at a price worth giving up.

Take a look at the life you would deny
Tell me it's right to care for the sake of your pride
When you lose sight of where you're going, don't look back on where you've been;
There's never a road to keep you from sin.

You were a crook: stole my heart with your song:
the sweetest of tunes leading me on
