The Faint: "Dust" Lyrics

the floor moves and it trembles 

Old West shakes as it opens up 

people are dying and 

I know the cause of it all

with so many buried

the dead twitch on crowded roads

dirt breaks; dust follows, 

cracks in the plains are exposed 



[they're restless enclosed]

the quake sets in

[they twitch underground]

the quake sets in

[dirt starts to shake]

the quake sets in

[it waves through the town]

the quake sets in

that's why the quake sets in

and dust rises again



wreckage is clearing

the remnants all fade away

no one understands it

the tremors go on unexplained



[they're restless enclosed]

the quake sets in 

[they twitch underground]

the quake sets in 

[dirt starts to shake]

the quake sets in

[it waves through the town]

the quake sets in

all still to the great shaking

and dust rises again

dust rises again
