My Quicksand Lyrics - The Diving Board [deluxe W/ Exclusive Vintage Troubadour Poster] - Elton John

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 

Say 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 

Let me duce 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Chrous 

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 it you can drown 

In quicksand 

Chrous
