Lyrics for Dust 2 by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Dust 2 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 65 | | | | Lyrics: | If dust could only 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 you leave it alone?
If dust could only speak
Caught in a falling
beam
If dust could only cry
If dust could only scream
For it's the single witness that
might testify
Could I spit out the truth?
Or would you rather just swallow a
lie?
But dust is always caught behind a coat of pain
Beneath the marble fingernails of
kings and saints
And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape
Or in the ticket pocket
where your hands escape
Before they start to wander
Or they start to shrink
You rub
your eye a little and appear to blink
And then she caught you staring
She knows what you're
thinking
What got into you is not a ghost as such
It was just dust
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
Well, I believe we just
Become a speck of dust | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
