Dust 2 ... (Album Version) - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]
Written By:Elvis Coste[00:00:02]
If dust could only talk[00:00:15]
What would we hear it say[00:00:17]
Before it's brushed aside[00:00:19]
Just as it's swept away[00:00:21]
It's just the evidence[00:00:23]
It's of no consequence[00:00:25]
It's only flesh and bone[00:00:27]
Why don't you leave it alone[00:00:28]
If dust could only speak[00:00:30]
Caught in a falling beam[00:00:32]
If dust could only cry[00:00:34]
If dust could only scream[00:00:36]
For it's the single witness that might testify[00:00:40]
Could I spit out the truth[00:00:47]
Or would you rather just swallow a lie[00:00:48]
But dust is always caught beneath a coat of pain[00:01:00]
Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints[00:01:04]
And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape[00:01:08]
Or in the ticket pocket where your hands escape[00:01:12]
Before they start to wander[00:01:16]
Or they start to shrink[00:01:18]
You rub your eye a little and appear to blink[00:01:22]
And then she caught you staring[00:01:28]
She knows what you're thinking[00:01:30]
What got into you is not a ghost as such[00:01:34]
It was just dust[00:01:37]
Here comes the juggernaut[00:02:01]
Here come The Poisoners[00:02:03]
They choke the life and land[00:02:05]
And rob the joy from us[00:02:07]
Why do they taste of sugar[00:02:09]
Oh when they're made of money[00:02:11]
Here come the Lamb of God[00:02:13]
And the butcher's boy Sonny[00:02:15]
Well I believe we just[00:02:58]
Become a speck of dust[00:03:00]
Well I believe we just[00:03:06]
Become a speck of dust[00:03:08]
Well I believe we just[00:03:14]
Become a speck of dust[00:03:16]
