It's like a four letter word bangin' 'round my head
It's my cruel desire turns my face all red
It's my flamin' heart let me show you instead
It's like quicksand
It's like shakin' hands
Hear the screams from all the young dudes
Loud enough to bust a heart in two
What do they mean, baby, what should we do?
It's like quicksand
We ain't losin' ground - we're just losin' some grace, now, sugar
Can't save your ass while you're saving face, baby
Look in the mirror understand disgrace
It's like quicksand
It's like a four letter word bangin' 'round my head
It's my cruel desire turn my face all red
It's my flamin' heart let me show you instead
It's like quicksand
It's like quicksand
See, we got this dream born from a nightmare's grave
Look in the mirror a familiar face, baby
It's different bodies, the same damn place
It's like quicksand
It's like a four letter word bangin' 'round my head
It's my cruel desire turn my face all red
It's my flamin' heart let me show you instead
It's like quicksand
It's like quicksand
It's like a four letter word bangin' 'round my head
It's my cruel desire turn my face all red
It's my flamin' heart let me show you instead
It's like quicksand
It's like a four letter word bangin' 'round my head
It's my cruel desire turn my face all red
It's my flamin' heart let me show you instead
It's like quicksand
It's like quicksand
It's like quicksand
It's like quicksand
