Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand Lyrics
Take a litle walk to the edge of townGo across the tracksWhere the viaduct looms,Like a bird of doomAs it shifts and cracksWhere secrets lie in the border fires,In the humming wiresHey man, you knowYoure never coming backPast the square, past the bridge,Past the mills, past the stacksOn a gathering storm comesA tall handsome manIn a dusty black coat withA red right handHell wrap you in his arms,Tell you that youve been a good boyHell rekindle all the dreamsIt took you a lifetime to destroyHell reach deep into the hole,Heal your shrinking soulHey buddy, you know youreNever ever coming backHes a god, hes a man,Hes a ghost, hes a guruTheyre whispering his nameThrough this disappearing landBut hidden in his coatIs a red right handYou aint got no money?Hell get you someYou aint got no car? hell get you oneYou aint got no self-respect,You feel like an insectWell dont you worry buddy,Cause here he comesThrough the ghettos and the barrioAnd the bowery and the slumA shadow is cast wherever he standsStacks of green paper in hisRed right hand(organ solo)Youll see him in your nightmares,Youll see him in your dreamsHell appear out of nowhere butHe aint what he seemsYoull see him in your head,On the tv screenAnd hey buddy, Im warningYou to turn it offHes a ghost, hes a god,Hes a man, hes a guruYoure one microscopic cogIn his catastrophic planDesigned and directed byHis red right hand(organ solo)Extra verse from dj spooky remix (from scream 2 soundtrack):Hell extend his hand, real slowly for a shakeYoull see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake(grabbing at your peril buddy? ) cause you know you aintGetting near much as he will take.Hes a...Hes mumbling words you cant understandHes mumbling word behind his red right hand.
