Red Right Hand

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

Youre 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

Hell wrap you in his arms,

Tell you that youve been a good boy

Hell rekindle all the dreams

It took you a lifetime to destroy

Hell reach deep into the hole,

Heal your shrinking soul

Hey buddy, you know youre

Never ever coming back

Hes a god, hes a man,

Hes a ghost, hes a guru

Theyre whispering his name

Through this disappearing land

But hidden in his coat

Is a red right hand

You aint got no money?

Hell get you some

You aint got no car? hell get you one

You aint got no self-respect,

You feel like an insect

Well dont 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)

Youll see him in your nightmares,

Youll see him in your dreams

Hell appear out of nowhere but

He aint what he seems

Youll see him in your head,

On the tv screen

And hey buddy, Im warning

You to turn it off

Hes a ghost, hes a god,

Hes a man, hes a guru

Youre 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):

Hell extend his hand, real slowly for a shake

Youll see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake

(grabbing at your peril buddy? ) cause you know you aint

Getting near much as he will take.

Hes a...

Hes mumbling words you cant understand

Hes mumbling word behind his red right hand.
