Cover Versions: Quicksand (David Bowie)
I'm closer to the golden dawn Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery I'm living in a slient film Portraying Himler's sacred realm of dream reality I'm frightened by the total goal But drawing to the ragged hole And I ain't go the power any more No, I ain't go the power any mor 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 While others see their targets divine symmetry Oh... should I kiss the viper's fang Or herald loud the death of man 'Cause I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts And I ain't got the power anymore Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Oh Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Ohh Oh I'm not a prophet or a stone age man Just a mortal with the potential of a superman, and I'm living on I'm tethered to the logic of Homosapien Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith Oh 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 thoughts And I ain't got the power anymore Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Oh Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Ohh Oh Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Oh Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Ohh Where to find this track
