Red Right Hand (Live from Falconer Theater, Copenhagen, Denmark/2004) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Take a little walk to the edge of town
And 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 and the galley and the river
And 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 girls and  boys
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole
Heal your shrinking soul
But don't worry  soul story
Coming back  he's a goast
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 get no money
He'll get you some
You don't like the guys coming with me
He'll get you compeletey diffirent one
We fall last  self-respect
We feel like an f**ker-insect
Well don't 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
You'll see him in your nightmares
You'll meet 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 honny  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
