Testo Dust 2 ... - Elvis Costello
Testo della canzone Dust 2 ... (Elvis Costello), tratta dall'album When I Was Cruel
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 we 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 ask it of the truth
Or would you rather just swallow a lie?
But dust is always caught
Beneath the coat of paint
Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints
And in the fridge of curtain
Where they hang a drape
And in the ticket pocket
Where your hands escape
Before they start to wander and they start to shrink
You rub your eye a little and appear to blink
But then she caught you staring
She knows what you're thinking
"What got into you? Was that a ghost?"
As such, it was just dust
Here come the juggernauts
Here come the poisoners
They choked the life in land
And brought the joys from us
Why do they taste the sugar
Oh, when they're made of money?
Here come the lamb of God
And the butcher's boy, son, yeah
Well I believe we just become a speck of dust
Well I believe we just become a speck of dust
Well I believe we just become a speck of dust
