Lyrics

Bad 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.

You're not what you said you are

Last time you were wide and far

Now you're a slippery fish swimming in the green

And I'm a dirty toad wanting to get clean

I've gone the wrong way down a one way street

Walking on my head instead of my feet

I read the sign posted at the top of the road

But this is not the pleasant street that it showed

Bad dust swept me off my feet

Had a ticket to the ceiling, and now I'm on the floor

Asked for candy from the cherubs, got snuff from the Devil

And I'm lying in the gutter watching stars come crashing down upon my head

You put me on the wrong shelf

Upside down beside myself

I'm sitting with the headless dolls

Bricks of LEGO, missile down the hole

We're in the ugly duckling crew

Listen fast for king different swan song

We'll spread our wings and dive away

Into the night to sleep through the day

Bad dust swept me off my feet

Had a ticket to the ceiling, and now I'm on the floor

Asked for candy from the cherubs, got snuff from the Devil

And I'm dying in the gutter watching stars come crashing down upon my head

I'm going South on a North bound train

You're underwater in an aero-plane

I'm doing 40 in a contra-flow

Driving in the fast lane deathly slow

I'm crawling with the lions

I'm roaring with the snails

I'm diving with the birds

I'm flying with the whales

I wanted fast, not slow

I wanted high, not low

I wanted light, not dark

Just a match with a spark

Bad dust swept me off my feet

Had a ticket to the ceiling, and now I'm on the floor

Asked for candy from the cherubs, got snuff from the Devil

And I'm lying in the gutter watching stars come crashing down upon my head
