...DUST

If only dust could talk What would we hear it say? Just as 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 only dust could talk God, it would fall on me If only dust could cry If only dust could scream It's the same witness that might testify to last without the truth Or would you rather just swallow a lie? But dust is all that's caught You need the cold again You need the marble fingernails You can't insist You never feel the curtain Where thay hang a drape You need the tear in your pocket Where your hands escape Before they start to wander And they start to shake Plug your eye in this little pier to play 'Cos she's caught you staring She knows what you forgive What are you going to use That it doesn't just feel just dust Here comes the juggernaut Here come The Poisoners They choke the life and land And rob the joy from us Why do thay taste of sugar? They are made of money Here come the Lamb of God And the butcher's boy, sonny Why did they dam the land? Why do they flood the plain? Did they erase the stain? And wipe away the name 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
