Quicksand Man Lyrics

Quicksand Man
written by Kim Beggs
from the album Streetcar Heart
Kim Beggs – vocals ⁄ acoustic guitar
Bob Hamilton – standup bass ⁄ acoustic guitar
Gene Brown – pedal steel
Jimmy Salt – drums
You're not alone
It didn't take long,
you were never alone
From bakery to bakery,
no walkin' in between
Did you even feel me go?
I still feel it

The piercin' in my heart
The only other time
I ever felt so bad
Was when I thought
it was good to be with you
Did you ever walk the talk?
Pseudo-feminist intellectual
Quicksand man from academia
Sucked me right in
We went out one night
I finally gave into your calls
You spoke so well
I couldn't even hear what
My guts were telling me
Did you even see me?
Was it only yourself
you could see?
Did I only reflect you weakness?
Oh baby, you weren't ready for me
I need freedom
I need relief within my heart
Truth respect and excitement
And a love to go a long, long way
