Quicksand lyrics
by Miles Kane
[Refrain]
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
[Verse 1]
Riding on this wave of blue sequins
You're shimmering
Tango, foxtrot, I'm in trouble
Can you hear the clammer laughter and louder?
[Chorus]
I see you falling, gently onto the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand, not into my arms
I see I'm falling, gently onto the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand, not into your arms
[Refrain]
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-da, ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
[Verse 2]
Ears drop, drip-drip-dripping down my ears
For gigs and tears
Delicate and gently does it
Won't you dedicate your hate to another? Ah-ooh
[Chorus]
I see you falling, gently onto the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand, not into my arms
I see I'm falling, gently onto the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand, not into your arms
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I see you falling, gently onto the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand, not into my arms
I see I'm falling, gently onto the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand, not into your arms
[Outro]
La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la-la-la
