Quicksand |
| Ever wonder why there’s an end to it |
| Clockwise slipping down a clogged drain |
| In that period two dimensions out of three |
| Tried to fit it like a broken chain |
| The mirror can’t explain to the crowd |
| Just how the con went down |
| Tonight’s act is in a double-lined garbage bag |
| For your pleasure with a top hat and cane |
| In the quicksand it’s on land and offshore |
| Ever wonder why people disappear |
| Sucked under by the day’s tight undertow |
| A thick accumulation of boredom and fear |
| On a raft made out of rotten sticks |
| Caught on a sea of bad risks |
| Catch it soon |
| Is that the seventh wave |
| Don’t dawdle over twice-tried failures |
| Have you ever seen how those wolves behave |
| Quicksand you’re on land and you’re offshore |
| Ever wonder why there’s a house that sits |
| As empty as the day that someone finished building it |
| Birds on the highway |
| Rat on the porch |
| They’re singing to the people who used to live next door |
| They don’t answer that phone anymore |
| The quicksand is on land and offshore |
