If I was dirt
   that filled up your life
   if I was dirt
   so pure and so refined
   I'd be the dirt that
   blackened all that shined
   which one would show a purity
   which one would show how curious
   this purity has been
  
   CHORUS
   my purity, my purity
   my thouroughness, my purity
  
   if I was dirt
   that would make you lie
   could I be the dirt
   in your irreverent smile
   please pass the dirt
   I'll have some on mine
   which one would you show my purity
   which one would show how curious
   this purity has been
  
   CHORUS
  
   drag me down and plough me
   under nothing stays the same
   drag me down and plough me
   under nothing will ever change?
  
   if I was the dirt you brought
   through your doorstep
   and did that dirt leave you
   feeling molested
   how was that dirt that you've ingested
   which one would show my purity
   which one would show how curious
   this purity has been
  
   CHORUS
