David Bowie – Quicksand Lyrics  Share

From David Bowie's album: Hunky Dory

(Bowie)

I^,m closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley^,s uniform
Of imagery
I^,m living in a silent film
Portraying
Himmler^,s sacred realm
Of dream reality
I^,m frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain^,t got the power anymore
No I ain^,t got the power anymore

I^,m the twisted name
on Garbo^,s eyes
Living proof of
Churchill^,s lies
I^,m destiny
I^,m torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper^,s fang
Or herald loud
the death of Man
I^,m sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain^,t got the power anymore
[ Quicksand lyrics from

CHORUS
Don^,t believe in yourself
Don^,t deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death^,s release

I^,m not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the potential of a superman
I^,m living on
I^,m tethered to the logic
of Homo Sapien
Can^,t take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don^,t explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I^,m sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain^,t got the power anymore

CHORUS
