lyrics

Quicksand



Walk into a room, I can hardly see a thing

I wonder why my eyes hurt.

I spy you in a chair, I can almost see your bra

I guess you want some clean dirt



Don’t walk up to me, cos I know you smell good

You don’t have to turn it on


Why don’t you tell me what you want.

Maybe I can help

But in the morning I know
You’ll be gone



I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand


Walking to the gig, I’m talking to my friend.

He knows about a big sound

I think I know the score, when I see you at the bar.
You’re hoping that I’ll come around



Well, if you’re staring me out, with those pretty green eyes.
I’ll put up a mental fight


Well, did you think you could get me, with that fabulous body?

Well, I dunno, maybe you’re right.

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand

And I’m tired of these girls

They’re thinking that they got it all.

But they know, I’m easily tempted

They get my back right up against the wall

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand


I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand

I’m doing fine

But I’m walking into quicksand
