QUICKSAND- David Bowie
G Am G Am G Am G Am
C
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
G
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
C
I'm living in a silent film
G
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
Eb
I'm frightened 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
C Cmaj7 G Am Am Asus2 A
No I ain't got the power anymore
D
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
A
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
D
I'm torn between the light and dark
A
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry
F
Should I kiss the viper's fang
G
Or herald loud the death of Man
A F#m D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
D Dmaj7 A
And I ain't got the power anymore
CHORUS:
A E F#m
Don't believe in yourself
B7 E
Don't deceive with belief
Em Bm
Knowledge comes with death's release
Adim A F#m C#m E
Aaaaaahhhh aaaaaaahhh
(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
Adim: x 0 1 2 1 2
