I put my life on hold and took you home
|
Good sense shot down I placed you on a throne
|
Where was the wheel that kept me on the road
|
The force of nature preventing overload
|
|
So don't you know I've been dressed to kill
|
If you got the tools be careful what you build
|
When the arrow's in the bull's-eye every time
|
It's hard assuming that the archer's blind
|
|
My quicksand
|
Let me introduce you
|
To my final stand
|
I went to Paris once
|
I thought I had a plan
|
I woke up with an accent
|
I wound up in quicksand
|
My quicksand
|
|
I was full of foreign notions at the start
|
There was never once
|
When I was off my guard
|
For any ghost of every poet in the ground
|
There's one like me
|
To buy the guys a round
|
|
My quicksand
|
Let me introduce you
|
To my final stand
|
I went to Paris once
|
I thought I had a plan
|
I woke up with an accent
|
I wound up in quicksand
|
My quicksand
|
|
I'm going down
|
You and me together going down
|
It's not what I'd been told about this town
|
That when you least expect if you can drown
|
In quicksand
|
My quicksand
|
|
My quicksand
|
Let me introduce you
|
To my final stand
|
I went to Paris once
|
I thought I had a plan
|
I woke up with an accent
|
I wound up in quicksand
|
My quicksand
|
My quicksand
|
