Elton John - My Quicksand

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
