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) 







Extra verse from DJ Spooky Remix (From Scream 2 Soundtrack):



He'll extend his hand, real slowly for a shake



You'll see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake



(Grabbing at your peril buddy?) cause you know you ain't



getting near much as he will take.











He's a... 







He's mumbling words you can't understand



He's mumbling word behind his red right hand
