[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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 I spit out the truth or would you rather just swallow a lie?

[Verse 2]
But dust is always caught beneath a coat of paint
Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints
And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape
And in the ticket pocket where your hands escape

[Chorus]
Before they start to wander and they start to shrink
You rub your eye a little and appear to blink
But when she caught you staring, she knows what you're thinking
What got into you was not a ghost as such, it was just dust

[Verse 3]
Here come the juggernaut, here come The Poisoners
They choke the life and land and rob the joy from us
Why do they taste of sugar, oh, when they're made of money
Here come the lamb of God and the butcher's boy Sonny
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
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
