Lyrics for Dust by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Dust | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | If only dust could talk
What would we hear it say?
Before it's brushed aside
Just as
it's swept away
It's just the evidence
It's of no consequence
It's only flesh and
bone
Why don't we leave it alone?
If only dust could gather into lines of
chalk
Around a silhouette detective fiction walks
For it's the only witness that can
testify
Can I spit out the truth?
Or would you rather just swallow a lie?
Why did
they dam the land?
How did they flood the plain?
Did they erase the name?
And wipe away
the stain
You kept your mouth well shut
Appeared to turn your coat
Now there's a name
for you but it's stuck in my throat
If dust could only mutter
Or in laughter
trill
If it could warn and whisper from the windowsill
But it's the only witness that can
testify
Can I split out the truth?
Or would you rather just swallow a lie?
Here
comes the juggernaut
Here come The Poisoners
They choke the life and land
And rob the
joy from us
Why do they taste of sugar?
Oh, when they're made of money
Here come the
Lamb of God
And the butcher's boy, sonny
If dust could only gather in the needle
track
Then it would skip a beat and it would jump right back
If dust could only gather in a
needle track
Then it would skip a beat
And all the sense I lack | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
