- *RED RIGHT HAND*
- ****************
-
-
- 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 are 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 those dreams
- it took you a lifetime to destroy
- He`ll reach deep into a hole
- heal your shrinking soul
- Hey buddy, you know you are never coming back
- He`s a ghost, He`s a god
- He`s a man , He`s a guru
- They`re whispering his name
- across the 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 no self-respect,
- you feel like an insect
- Well don`t you worry buddy,
- cause here he comes
- through the Ghetto and teh barrio
- and teh 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 nowwhere but
- he ain`t what he seems
- You`ll see him in your head,
- on the TV screens
- 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 DAND
