Red Right Hand

In the style of

Nick Cave

Lyrics

take a little walk
to the edge of town
go across the tracks

where the viaduct looms
like a bird of doom

as it shifts
and cracks

where secrets lie
in the border fires

in the humming wires
hey man you know

you're never coming back
past the square past the bridge

past the mills past the stacks

on a gathering storm
comes a tall handsome man

in a dusty black coat
with a red right hand

he'll wrap you
in his arms

tell you that you've been
a good boy

he'll rekindle
all the dreams

it took you a lifetime
to destroy

he'll reach deep
into the hole

heal your shrinking soul
but there won't be a single

thing that you can do
he's a god he's a man

he's a ghost he's a guru

they're whispering his name
through this disappearing land

but hidden in his coat
is a red right hand

you don't have no money?
he'll get you some

you don't have no car?
he'll get you one

you don't have no self-respect
you feel like an insect

well don't you worry buddy
'cos here he comes

through the ghettos
and the barrio

and the bowery
and the slum

a shadow is cast
wherever he stands

stacks of green paper
in his red right hand

you'll see him
in your nightmares
you'll see him in your dreams

he'll appear out of nowhere
but he ain't what he seems

you'll see him in your head
on the tv screen

hey buddy i'm warning
you to turn it off

he's a ghost he's a god
he's a man he's a guru

you're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan

designed and directed
by his red right hand
