Quicksand (ChangesNowBowie Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm closer to the golden dawn Immersed in Crowley's uniform Of imagery [Verse 2] I'm living in a silent film Portraying Himmler's sacred realm Of dream reality [Pre-Chorus] I'm frightened by the total goal I'm drawing to the ragged hole And I ain't got the power anymore No, I ain't got the power anymore [Verse 3] I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes Living proof of Churchill's lies I'm destiny [Verse 4] 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 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 5] I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man Just a mortal with potential of a superman I'm living on [Verse 6] 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 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] 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 [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
