Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand (2011 Remastered Version)(1994)

[00:16.91] Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks
[00:24.77] Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks
[00:30.35]
[00:33.11] Where secrets lie in the border fires in the humming wires
[00:39.27] Hey man, you know you're never coming back
[00:42.49] Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks
[00:47.42]
[00:49.59] On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
[00:53.78] In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
[00:59.21]
[01:06.41] He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy
[01:14.54] He'll rekindle all the dreams, it took you a lifetime to destroy
[01:23.02] He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul
[01:27.92] But there won't be a single thing that you can do
[01:32.19] He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru
[01:37.48]
[01:39.50] They're whispering his name through this disappearing land
[01:43.75] But hidden in his coat is a red right hand
[01:49.27]
[01:56.05] You don't have no money? He'll get you some
[02:02.37]
[02:04.45] You don't have no car? He'll get you one
[02:10.92]
[02:12.96] You don't have no self-respect, you feel like an insect
[02:17.98] Well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he comes
[02:22.03] Through the ghettos and the barrio and the Bowery and the slum
[02:29.12] A shadow is cast wherever he stands
[02:33.93] Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
[02:39.14]
[04:01.29] You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams
[04:07.20]
[04:09.24] He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems
[04:18.00] You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen
[04:22.23] And hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off
[04:26.54] He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
[04:33.58] You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
[04:38.17] Designed and directed by his red right hand
[04:41.69]
