You know that feeling after you got something you wanted and you made it to the top? Life has a way of balancing our soul. Security is quicksand.
Audio | 80’s version
Audio | 90’s unplugged
In 1995 Michael Mazzola came to Philadelphia and we did an unplugged version.
The lyrics follow
Security is Quicksand
You’re protecting this thing
This illusion from within
That everything is perfect
And when you die you go to Heaven
It’s the middle of the night
And you’re scared of being no one
So you move under the covers
Where you know you’ll be alright
And then the next day comes
And now it starts all over
But who you gonna cling to
When you’re running the show
Security is quicksand
It’s protection from within
Security is quicksand
And you never wanna fight
And you’ll always be right
Security is quicksand
Now that you got what you wanted
Security is quicksand
In the smile upon your face
Now moving to an unknown place
Is hard for us all
But it’s better than looking back
And saying.
If I coulda, I wish I woulda, If I only knew
Security is quicksand
Now you’re feeling satisfied
And you wanna sit back now
But you better watch out
Security is quicksand
It’s protection from within
Security is quicksand
And you never wanna fight
And you’ll always be right
Security is quicksand
Now that you got what you wanted
Security is quicksand
In the smile upon you face
Security is quicksand
