Dust "Walk In The Soft Rain" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Hard Attack"

I heard your voice calling

So melody free

My eyes at you are falling

But they cannot see

A walk in the soft rain alone

A walk and then everything's gone

They say the day is lonely

So totally blue

It calls out for us only

But mainly for you

A walk in the soft rain alone

A walk and then everything’s gone

You're learning to [feel me inside 2x]

I'm turning, but I just can’t hide

My love that won't wash away

From you in the soft rain

They say the time is coming

The season is here

I live by your decision

It's perfectly clear

A walk in the soft rain alone

A walk and then everything's gone

Dust "Dust "Pull Away/So Many Times" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Hard Attack"

Waiting for something that is never coming

So I guess I'll be on my way

I know it's over, we could never make it

So I guess I'll just pull away

Girl you've been cheatin' and you've been mistreatin'

But I'm doin' the best I can

All your confusion and my disillusion

Tell me when is a man a man?

I couldn't live without you

I'd like to try

So many times I've heard your hundred stories

So many times I've heard you say goodbye

I tried to hold you, remember I told you

That I know all about your lies

Now that you're goin', your vanity's showin'

I can see it all in your eyes

I couldn't live without you

I'd like to try

So many times I've heard your hundred stories

So many times I've heard you say goodbye

Sittin' on a rock, lookin' out at the river

Thinkin' 'bout the boat that's takin' you today

Gonna take a while but soon you'll be a leavin'

Hope it's not a steamer, but it's pullin' away

Watchin' all the waves come rushin' up behind you

Kinda like an army on surprise attack

You were always sayin' that you didn't need me

I hope you really mean it, 'cause you're never comin back

Once upon a time when you were just a baby

Mama used to take you to a friend of mine

You were always happy playin' with his cannon

Then you came to me and started wastin' my time

I remember when you said you were a lover

That was just about a year ago today

All you ever knew was teasin' and a cheatin'

All you ever knew was pullin' away

Waiting for something that is never coming

So I guess I'll be on my way

I know it's over, we could never make it

So I guess I'll just pull away

Dust "Learning To Die" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Hard Attack"

When I think of all the time we had to die

I think that we should have gone somewhere away

Far from our maddening state

We could have run for miles and hidden in a storm

We could have stayed under the rain

Into the winds of time

Now the time has come for every man to die

I know how it's gonna be, black as the dead

Soon we will all be gone

And then we'd have to leave our shiny jewels behind

Diamonds and tears, women and whips

Under the earth we move

Learning to die again

Help me find a place inside this foreign land

Wondering why and when

Who can say on which day

He will call and we must learn to die again

Now the time has come for every man to die

I know how it's gonna be, black as the dead

Soon we will all be gone

And then we'd have to leave our shiny jewels behind

Diamonds and tears, women and whips

Under the earth we move

Dust "All In All" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Hard Attack"

Somewhere somebody's born

And somewhere somebody dies

But it was only time

Somewhere somebody laughs

And somewhere somebody cries

But it was only time

It was time

Some men gotta be bad

And some men gotta be kind

But it was only time

Something's gotta be yours

And something's gotta be mine

But it was only time

Only time

It was time

Who knows and who can tell

Why the sea was living in a wishing well

And why were the clouds below my feet

And where did they put the street

They put the street

Someday you're gonna see

Something that you can find

But it was only time

I think that you can do

Anything that you try

But it was only time

[It was time] 3x

Dust "Suicide" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Hard Attack"

** I don't recommend suicide

You know I'm bleedin', but you're still wonderin' why

You heard me screamin', cryin' out just to die

You thought I loved you, but that was all in the past

As I start crawlin', I don't know if I can last

Pretty soon I'll be gone

On a long one way ride

Tell your friends not to call

Say it was suicide

I thought of hangin', but I knew it was wrong

Then thought of poison, but what I had wasn't strong

Electrocution I thought would make me a star

I stood in the rain with my electric guitar

Pretty soon I'll be gone

On a long one way ride

Tell your friends not to call

Say it was suicide

I then decided and put a knife in my heart

It was the answer, but it was only a start

I found a shotgun and held it close to my head

And pulled the trigger just to be sure I was dead

Pretty soon I'll be gone

On a long one way ride

Tell your friends not to call

Say it was suicide
