[00:00:00] ...Dust (Album Version) - Elvis Costello

[00:00:01] Written By：Elvis Coste

[00:00:23] If only dust could talk

[00:00:25] What would we hear it say

[00:00:27] Before it's brushed aside

[00:00:29] Just as it's swept away

[00:00:30] It's just the evidence

[00:00:32] It's of no consequence

[00:00:34] It's only flesh and bone

[00:00:36] Why don't we leave it alone

[00:00:42] If only dust could gather into lines of chalk

[00:00:46] Around a silhouette detective fiction walks

[00:00:50] For it's the only witness that can testify

[00:00:55] Can I spit out the truth

[00:00:56] Or would you rather just swallow a lie

[00:01:20] Why did they dam the land

[00:01:22] How did they flood the plain

[00:01:24] Did they erase the name

[00:01:26] And wipe away the stain

[00:01:28] You kept your mouth well shut

[00:01:29] Appeared to turn your coat

[00:01:31] Now there's a name for you but it's stuck in my throat

[00:01:43] If dust could only mutter

[00:01:45] Or in laughter trill

[00:01:47] If it could warn and whisper from the windowsill

[00:01:51] But it's the only witness that can testify

[00:01:56] Can I split out the truth

[00:01:57] Or would you rather just swallow a lie

[00:02:09] Here comes the juggernaut

[00:02:11] Here come The Poisoners

[00:02:13] They choke the life and land

[00:02:15] And rob the joy from us

[00:02:17] Why do they taste of sugar

[00:02:19] Oh when they're made of money

[00:02:21] Here come the Lamb of God

[00:02:23] And the butcher's boy sonny

[00:02:44] If dust could only gather in the needle track

[00:02:48] Then it would skip a beat and it would jump right back

[00:02:54] If dust could only gather in a needle track

[00:02:58] Then it would skip a beat

[00:03:00] And all the sense I lack
