If only dust could talk, why would we hear it say
Just as it's brushed aside, just as it's swept away
It's just the evidence, it's got no consequence
It's only flesh and bone, why don't we leave it alone
If only dust could talk, I'd never follow me
If only dust could cry, if only dust could scream
But it's the single witness that might justify
That I spit out the truth, or would you rather just
Draw the bullet
If dust has always caught me
Then neither could a pen
Then neither marvel or fiend
And there's a king in chains
And in the theater curtain where they hang a trade
And in the ticket pocket where your hands escape
Before they start to wander and they start to shrink
Love your eye a little and a head to play
And then she calls you staring, she knows what you're thinking
Why I got into you was not a ghost
A search, it was just dust
Here comes the juggernaut, here come the poisoners
To take a life and a life of jargon
Why do they taste the sugar, man, I made a party
Now I'm early, I'm early, I'm early to the game
Come home and I'm alreadyia
I've got him a-put his watch on him

Why did they *** the land?
Why did they flood the plain?
Did they erase the stain
And wipe away the name?
You kept your mouth shut
I'll be here to turn your coat
Now there's a name for you
But it's stuck in my throat

Well, I believe we've just become a speck of dust
Well, I believe we've just become a speck of dust
