Dust - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

If only dust could talk[00:00:12]

What would we hear it say [00:00:14]

Before it's brushed aside[00:00:16]

Just as it's swept away[00:00:18]

It's just the evidence[00:00:19]

It's of no consequence[00:00:21]

It's only flesh and bone[00:00:23]

Why don't you leave it alone [00:00:25]

If only dust could talk[00:00:27]

Caught in a falling beam[00:00:28]

If only dust could cry[00:00:30]

If only dust could scream[00:00:32]

For it's the single witness that might testify[00:00:36]

Could I spit out the truth [00:00:42]

Or would you rather just swallow a lie [00:00:43]

But dust is always caught behind a coat of pain[00:00:55]

Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints[00:00:58]

And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape[00:01:02]

Or in the ticket pocket where your hands escape[00:01:05]

Before they start to wander[00:01:09]

Or they start to shrink[00:01:11]

You rub your eye a little and appear to blink[00:01:15]

And then she caught you staring[00:01:20]

She knows what you're thinking[00:01:22]

What got into you is not a ghost as such[00:01:26]

It was just dust[00:01:29]

Here comes the juggernaut[00:02:14]

Here come The Poisoners[00:02:16]

They choke the life and land[00:02:18]

And rob the joy from us[00:02:20]

Why do they taste of sugar [00:02:21]

Oh when they're made of money[00:02:23]

Here come the Lamb of God[00:02:25]

And the butcher's boy Sonny[00:02:27]

Why did they dam the land [00:03:42]

Why did they flood the plain [00:03:44]

Did they erase the stain [00:03:46]

And wipe away the name[00:03:47]

You kept your mouth well shut[00:03:49]

Appeared to turn your coat[00:03:51]

Now there's a name for you but it's stuck in my throat[00:03:53]

Well I believe each us[00:05:07]

Became a small dust[00:05:09]

Well I believe each us[00:05:15]

Became a small dust[00:05:17]
