Cave Nick Red Right Hand Lyrics

Red Right Hand Lyrics

Take a litle 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
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever
coming back
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 ain't got no money?
He'll get you
some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no
self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry
buddy,
cause 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
(Organ solo)
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
And 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
(Organ
solo)
