"Quicksand" lyrics

"Quicksand"

Born into your name
That love knew no shame
Happy, happy, living so happy
Your sister became ill
Knowing that medical bill
Is money, money, loans of that money

So dawn to dusk
Bricks in the dust
Work is a must
Debts so much and you know
This is going down like quicksand

And the market of us
Is no labour of love
Sold on the side
Nowhere to hide and you know
This is going down like quicksand

When you're ready to leave
Give your soul time to grieve
And stay, stay, you were born to stay
For every brick you've laid
Those one thousand a day
Away, away, now gone away

So dawn to dusk
Bricks in the dust
Work is a must
Debts so much and you know
This is going down like quicksand

And the market of us
Is no labour of love
Sold on the side
Nowhere to hide and you know
This is going down like quicksand

Ooh, you never knew
That all your fears were
Coming alive
Oh oh, you never knew
That all your fears were
Coming alive

So down to dusk
Bricks in the dust
Work is a must
Debts so much and you know
This is going down like quicksand

And the market of us
Is no labour of love
Sold on the side
Nowhere to hide and you know
This is going down like quicksand

This is going down like quicksand
This is going down like quicksand
This is going down like quicksand
This is going down like quicksand
