Cassandra - Bishop Allen

She was wandering wild-eyed out in the street

So I brought her upstairs and sat at her feet

I made her some coffee and something to eat

Cassandra, now, tell me

Go on you can tell me

She just shook her head

And kicked at the bedspread

And cried, «Why do I see terrible things?»

She said that the rivers would run in reverse

And hurricane season this year will be worse

Wells in the desert all gushing with blood

Great giant palaces buried in the mud

She talked about a plane crash, it happened that night

When I saw it on television, I knew she was right

She said she could see oh so clearly what happens to me

I said, «No, please

I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna know

No.»
