QUICKSAND- David Bowie
G Am G Am G Am G Am
I'm Ccloser to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagGery
I'm lCiving in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dreGam reality
I'm fEbrightened by the total goal
F(VII)
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
G Em (N.C.) C
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I aCin't got the pCmaj7ower anyGmore Am Am Asus2 A
I'm the twDisted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm deAstiny
I'm tDorn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets, divine syAmmetry
SFhould I kiss the viper's fang
Or hGerald loud the death of Man
I'm sinAking in the quiF#mcksand of my thoDught
And I aiDn't got the Dmaj7power anyAmore
CHORUS:
DAon't belEieve in youF#mrself
Don't decB7eive with beElief
Knowledge cEmomes with death's relBmease
AAdimaaaaahhAhh aaF#maaaaC#mahhhE
(chords same as second verse)
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
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 TWICE
