Lyrics

Beneath the Damage and the Dust

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Her eyes are sweet and dark as coal

But they've long since given up on finding someone to trust

She has a silver plated soul

Beneath the damage and the dust

They say, she's never known a single hour of stillness

And they say, she's as dangerous as a child that can inspire lust

And you know that people's minds are so full of illness

They never look beneath the damage and the dust

I want to lift her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

I got to pick her up

I want to raise her up from the dust

I got to lift her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

(C'mon here, child)

Well she's walking downtown on a foggy summer evening

Everybody watches with a blend of wonder and disgust

(Well I)

I want so bad to stop her grieving

To raise her from beneath the damage and the dust

I want to lift her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

I got to pick her up

I want to raise her up from the dust

I got to pick her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

(Oh yeah, pick it up)

To think that she was once some mother's baby

(And she got)

Left out in the rain like some dream that's gone to rust

Well they say that loneliness can drive you crazy

And bury you beneath the damage and the dust

I got to pick her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

I want to lift her up

I got to raise her up from the dust

I got to pick her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

(Oh, pick it up)

I got to lift her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

I want to pick her up

I want to raise her up from the dust

I got to pick her up

(Beneath the damage and the dust)

And you've got to help me

(Damage and the dust)

(Damage and the dust)

(Damage and the dust)
