Dust 2 ... |
| 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 paint |
| 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 just what you’re thinking |
| What got into you was 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 comes the lamb of God |
| And the butcher’s boy, Sonny |
| Well I believe we just |
| Become a speck of dust… |
