Dog in the Quicksand Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never before has a man attempted to paint like this
Slapping the paint all over his house with no care
Making an image brutal, frank and unusual...
And rare...
Just a Dog... in the Quicksand
[Verse 2]
Never before has a man attempted to live this way
Losing his mind and over the edge of despair
Flirting with madness and frozen in between helplessness...
And air...
Like a Dog... in the Quicksand
[Hook]
Like a Bull running for
Any brave matador
When he stops
And he takes a breath
And he stares at the steel
That he knows he will feel
And you know
That he's staring at death
Like a Dog... in the Quicksand
[Verse 3]
Never before has a painter shown we could die this way
Never before a truth so simple and bare
Anyone wanting to find himself, cast an eye this way
Look there
We are all... in the Quicksand!
[Hook 2]
Like a Bull running for
Any brave matador
When he stops
And he takes a breath
And he stares at the steel
That he knows he will feel

Then you know
That he's staring at death
[Bridge]
Alone with himself
Alone with his life
Alone with his will to survive...
And fighting for ground
And more men have drowned
And somehow still there and alive
Like a dog, in the quicksand!
[Guitar Solo]
[Hook]
