Quicksand ChangesNowBowie Version by David Bowie 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
