...Dust (Album Version) - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written By：Elvis Coste[00:00:01]

If only dust could talk[00:00:23]

What would we hear it say[00:00:25]

Before it's brushed aside[00:00:27]

Just as it's swept away[00:00:29]

It's just the evidence[00:00:30]

It's of no consequence[00:00:32]

It's only flesh and bone[00:00:34]

Why don't we leave it alone[00:00:36]

If only dust could gather into lines of chalk[00:00:42]

Around a silhouette detective fiction walks[00:00:46]

For it's the only witness that can testify[00:00:50]

Can I spit out the truth[00:00:55]

Or would you rather just swallow a lie[00:00:56]

Why did they dam the land[00:01:20]

How did they flood the plain[00:01:22]

Did they erase the name[00:01:24]

And wipe away the stain[00:01:26]

You kept your mouth well shut[00:01:28]

Appeared to turn your coat[00:01:29]

Now there's a name for you but it's stuck in my throat[00:01:31]

If dust could only mutter[00:01:43]

Or in laughter trill[00:01:45]

If it could warn and whisper from the windowsill[00:01:47]

But it's the only witness that can testify[00:01:51]

Can I split out the truth[00:01:56]

Or would you rather just swallow a lie[00:01:57]

Here comes the juggernaut[00:02:09]

Here come The Poisoners[00:02:11]

They choke the life and land[00:02:13]

And rob the joy from us[00:02:15]

Why do they taste of sugar[00:02:17]

Oh when they're made of money[00:02:19]

Here come the Lamb of God[00:02:21]

And the butcher's boy sonny[00:02:23]

If dust could only gather in the needle track[00:02:44]

Then it would skip a beat and it would jump right back[00:02:48]

If dust could only gather in a needle track[00:02:54]

Then it would skip a beat[00:02:58]

And all the sense I lack[00:03:00]
