Nick Cave - Red Right Hand Lyrics

Send "Red Right Hand" ringtone to your cell

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 handHe'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 handYou 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.
