Quicksand Lyrics - David Bowie

1 I'm closer to the Golden Dawn

2 Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery

3 I'm living in a silent film

4 Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality

5 I'm frightened by the total goal

6 Drawing to the ragged hole

7 And I ain't got the power anymore

8 No I ain't got the power anymore

9 I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes

10 Living proof of Churchill's lies; I'm destiny

11 I'm torn between the light and dark

12 Where others see their targets in divine symmetry

13 Should I kiss the viper's fang

14 Or herald loud the death of Man

15 I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

16 And I ain't got the power anymore

17 Don't believe in yourself

18 Don't deceive with belief

19 Knowledge comes with death's release

20 Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah

21 I'm not a prophet or a stone age man

22 Just a mortal with potential of a superman; I'm living on

23 I'm tethered to the logic of homo sapiens

24 Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith

25 If I don't explain what you ought to know

26 You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo

27 I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

28 And I ain't got the power anymore

29 Don't believe in yourself

30 Don't deceive with belief

31 Knowledge comes with death's release

32 Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah

33 Don't believe in yourself

34 Don't deceive with belief

35 Knowledge comes with death's release

36 Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
