 I put my life on hold and took you home

 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

I went to Paris once

I woke up with an accent

                Bm
I wound up in quicksand

 There was never once when I was off my guard

Fm      Em             D
 For any ghost of every poet in the ground

F               Em            A
 There's one like me to buy the guys a round

I wound up in quicksand

My quicksand
[Bridge]
    Em    Bm
I'm going down

        Em   Bm     Em    Bm
You and me together going down

It's not what I'd been told about this town

              C#7                     D#
That when you least expect if you can drown

   Em   Bm
In quicksand

I wound up in quicksand
