David Bowie
Quicksand (2021 Mix - Early Version)
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm drawing between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I kiss the vipеr's fang
Or herald loud the death of Man?
I'm sinking in thе quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
[Chorus]
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 3]
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with 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

[Pre-Chorus]
If I don't explain what you ought to know
I'll tell you all about it in the next bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

[Chorus]
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
