Elvis Costello - ...Dust слова песни
If dust could only talkWhat would we hear it say?before it`s brushed asideJust as it`s swept awayIt`s just the evidenceIt`s of no consequenceIt`s only flesh and boneWhy don`t you leave it alone?If dust could only gather into lines of chalkAround a silhouette detective fiction walksFor it`s the only witness that can testifyCan 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 stainYou kept your mouth well shutAppeared to turn your coatNow there`s a name for you but it`s stuck in my throatIf dust could only mutterOr in laughter trillIf it could warn and whisper from the windowsillFor it`s the only witness that can testifyCan I spit out the truth? Or would you rather just swallow a lie?Here comes the juggernautHere come The PoisonersThey choke the life and landAnd rob the joy from usWhy do they taste of sugarWhen they are made of moneyHere come the Lamb of God And the butcher`s boy, SonnyIf dust could only gather in a needle trackThen it would skip a beat and it would jump right backIf dust could only gather in a needle trackThen it would skip a beat And all the sense I lack
