Lyrics of Red Right Hand by Helsinki
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′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 hand
He'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
There won′t be a single thing
That you can do
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 don't own no money? (He′ll get you some)
You don't have no car? (He'll get you one)
You don′t have 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
(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
Writer(s): Nicholas Edward Cave, Thomas Wydler, Mick Harvey
