richie havens – dog in the quicksand lyrics
[verse 1]
never before has a man attempted to paint like this
slapping the paint all over his house with no care
making an image brutal, frank and unusual…
and rare…
just a dog… in the quicksand
[verse 2]
never before has a man attempted to live this way
losing his mind and over the edge of despair
flirting with madness and frozen in between helplessness…
and air…
like a dog… in the quicksand
[hook]
like a bull running for
any brave matador
when he stops
and he takes a breath
and he stares at the steel
that he knows he will feel
and you know
that he’s staring at death
like a dog… in the quicksand
[verse 3]
never before has a painter shown we could die this way
never before a truth so simple and bare
anyone wanting to find himself, cast an eye this way
look there
we are all… in the quicksand!
[hook 2]
like a bull running for
any brave matador
when he stops
and he takes a breath
and he stares at the steel
that he knows he will feel
then you know
that he’s staring at death
[bridge]
alone with himself
alone with his life
alone with his will to survive…
and fighting for ground
and more men have drowned
and somehow still there and alive
like a dog, in the quicksand!
[guitar solo]
