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 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 | |
For it's the only witness that can testify | |
Can I spit 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 | |
When they are made of money | |
Here come the Lamb of God | |
And the butcher's boy, Sonny | |
If dust could only gather in a 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 |
