david bowie - quicksand (san francisco hotel recording) lyrics

Loading...

[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
i’m drawing to the ragged hole
and i’m sinking in the quicksand of my youth
and i ain’t got the power anymore

[verse 2]
i’m the twisted name on garbo’s eyes
i’m living proof of churchill’s lies
i’m destiny
i’m torn between the light and dark
where others see their targets
divine symmetry

[pre+chorus]
should i kiss the viper’s fang
or herald loud the death of man?
i’m sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
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 h0m+ sapient
can’t take my eyes from the great salvation
of bullsh+t faith

[pre+chorus]
if i don’t explain what you ought to know
you can tell me all about it
on the next bardot
i’m sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
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
