Skid Row - Quicksand Jesus Lyrics






[Bolan, Snake]

She caught the melting sky
It burned but still the winter passes
By and by
To the other side

A slow parade of wind
That blows through trees
That wilted with the season's children
Are we saved by the words
Of bastard saints
Do we live in fear or faith
Tell me now who's behind the rain

A maze of tangled grace
The symptoms of ?for real? are
Crumbling from embrace
But still we chase..the shadows
Of belief
And new religion clouds our visions of
The roots of our souls

Are we ashamed of our own fate
Or play the fool for our own sake
Tell me who's behind the rain

What do we need where do we go
When we get where we don't know
Why should we doubt the virgin white
of fallen snow
When faith's our shelter from the cold

Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
Without you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
Without you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
Without you

Quicksand Jesus I need you
Quicksand Jesus I believe you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away

  29. B.... S....

    I am starting to truly believe that 1991 was the BEST YEAR EVER!!! The music, tv shows, movies, video games, cars, EVERYTHING, was freakin AWESOME! Here are some examples of stuff that came out in 1991: the Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4, Toyota MR2 turbo, Acura NSX, Guns n Roses Use Your Illusion 1 and 2, Metallica's black album, Nirvana's Nevermind, Smashing Pumpkins Gish, Super Nintendo, Final Fantasy 4, tv's Step by Step, and that dinosaur show with the baby dinosaur, Home Improvement, Naked Gun 2 and a half, What About Bob, well, I'm drawing a blank right now, but I think I've listed enough examples to drive home my point. RIP 1991.....

  30. M.... c....

    The best

  31. J.... G....

    Hands down one of the best vocalist of the 90's

  32. J.... G....

    Hands down one of the best vocalist of the 90's

    The time real music is good.

  35. V.... D....

    Thumbs up if you agree!

  36. G.... F....

    Some how, This song brings me closer to God and why my Faith is so very important. God Bless you all.

  37. V.... D....

    Don't care what anyone says..sebz was the freaking man..n iv been 2 woodstocks , many a concerts n many local shows, n in all my LIFE have yet 2 hear another singer live who has even close 2 the talent sebz has... he is very gifted..

  38. C.... C....

    Who cares what year it is? We'll be listening until our bell is rung.

  39. M.... ....

    Beautiful!

  40. M.... C....

    Wonderful song!!

  41. C.... N....

    Oh weird he did that thing with his fingers in the 90s too. I thought it was a mannerism he developed but he does "flutter fingers" repeatedly here.

    C.... N....

    Maybe hes autistic. That would explain a lot.

  42. J.... P....

    Con este LP esta grandisima banda cerró muchas bocas q tanto dudaban de si eran una grandisima banda de heavy metal, akí empezaron a apostar muy fuerte x ella, lo vale

  43. g.... l....

    One of my top favorite Skid Row songs that I still love today, definitely takes me back 🤘

  44. R.... G....

    So lucky to have seen Skid Row at Donington in 1992. I was 15 and it was possibly the best live set I’ve ever seen.

  45. C.... N....

    This is one of the best complete albums I've ever owned. Skid Row Slave to the Grind, Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes, Concrete Blonde Bloodletting, Nirvana Nevermind, Interpol Turn on the Bright Lights, Lana del Rey Ultraviolence.

  46. C.... S....

    No one has a voice like Sebastian Basch..

  47. N.... D....

    I will tell my son's and daughters that this is the best band of all time

  48. m.... p....

    Amo demais essa musica e essa banda! Bass meu eterno crush💝

  49. A.... ....

  54. D.... B....

    Always wished If could come chisel Sab in marble, such a Adonnis

  55. A.... ....

    The guitar solo (starting at 2.43) is played over a straight rip of the second riff in "Sweet Leaf."

  56. S.... E....

    Me lembra muitos momentos bons da minha juventude

  57. W.... U....

    one of the absolute best songs ever written

  58. T.... A....

    Who's Listening in Nov+ 2019............ "A Slow Parade of Wind, that blows through trees that Wilted with the Season's Children"......... Genius Line! Quicksand Jesus, We ALL Need YOU! God Bless!

    T.... A....

    God Bless you too, Its why our faith is so very important.

  59. T.... L....

    Not sure I've ever seen lyrics so complex and metaphorical.

  60. L.... L....

    Dio, Bruce dickson, Ian guila, Dave coverdale e a léva são muito foda, mas o Tião bach dispensa qualquer comentário 😍

  61. C.... ....

    What an EPIC decade..

  62. I.... R....

    This video was banned the very first time it aired and i still got yo record it on vídeo.

  63. A.... ....

    The microphone actually had an orgasm when Sebastian Bach started.

    A.... ....

    Bahahaha! Best comment ever! 🤣

    A.... ....

    A.... ....

    @Tisha Watkins

    Thank you.

  64. S.... ....

    Why people? Why you need to say the fucking year?

  65. J.... G....

    Fuck we can never go back to this time again I was still young n this song was great

  66. M.... C....

    Still holds up better than the shit that's out today

    M.... C....

    True story.

    M.... C....

    Mike Campbell fucking right

  67. R.... Z....

    Still an amazing song this many years later... Still sends chills

  68. A.... B....

    Clearly d most underrated Hair metal band; Skid Row. Powerful messages in most song esp Slave to the Grind album. Genius Dave Sabo, Rachel Bolan is behind those genius masterpiece. Loved them since d first album. Baz is def one of the best vocalists in dat era. Baz n Skid Row lives with me, only memories left.

  69. D.... J....

    I wish I could have seen Skid Row with Bach live !!!!

  70. E.... W....

    Sebastian bach is a fallen angel from heaven

  71. L.... R....

    🎸🤘🤘💪

  72. H.... B....

    What a song, what a voice.

  73. y.... ....

    The vocals on this song are amazing...Bas was one (if not the) best. The guitar solo is killer as well. I miss Skid Row.

  74. p.... ....

    Drums at 3:37 for the next 10 seconds and then Bach/Hill singing on the same Mic gives chills

  75. p.... ....

    Quite possibly IMO the best song ever written, produced and played in the history of the music industry

    p.... ....

    One can scarcely imagine the divergent interpretations.

    So long as predators wrap themselves in sheep's wool…

  76. S.... O....

    S.... O....

  88. S.... ....

    She caught the melting sky
    It burned but still the winter passes by and by
    To the other side
    A slow parade of wind
    That blows through trees

    Do we live in fear or faith?
    Tell me now who's behind the rain

    But still we chase
    The shadows of belief
    And new religion clouds our visions of the roots
    Of our souls

  94. E.... M....

    I was at the concert they shot the live footage for the music video. It's at the Brown County Arena in Green Bay, WI back in around 1991. Soundgarden opened the show. Skid Row played this song twice to get enough footage. Awesome memory.

    E.... M....

    That's awesome bro...

    E.... M....

    How lucky you are!

  95. T.... C....

    Essa música e fora do normal o cara cantava como diria o mineiro dimais da conta melhor música de todas.
