[Verse 1]
Em If dust could only talk, what would we hear it say? Am Em Before it's brushed aside Just as it's swept away Em It's just the evidence Em It's of no consequence Em It's only flesh and bone Em Why don't you leave it alone? G If dust could only speak D Caught in a falling beam Am If dust could only cry Em If dust could only scream G D For it's the single witness that might testify Am Could I spit out the truth? Em Or would you rather just swallow a lie?
[Verse 2]
Em But dust is always caught beneath a coat of paint Am Em Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints Em And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape Em Or in the ticket pocket where your hands escape G Before they start to wander D Or they start to shrink Am Em You rub your eye a little and appear to blink G And then she caught you staring D She knows just what you're thinking Am What got into you was not a ghost as such Em It was just dust
[Verse 3]
Em Here comes the juggernaut Here come The Poisoners Am They choke the life and land Em And rob the joy from us Em Why do they taste of sugar Em Oh, when they're made of money Am Here comes the lamb of God Em And the butcher's boy, Sonny
