Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the track
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks
Where the secrets lie in the border fires he's in the humming wires
Hey man you know you're never coming back
[Verse 2]
Past the square past the bridge past the mills past the stack
On a gathering storms comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
[Verse 3]
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
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
You don't know money
He'll get you some
You don't have no car
He'll get you one
[Verse 6]
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 where ever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
[Verse 7]
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 see him in your head on a TV screen
Hey buddy I'm warning you to turn it off
[Verse 8]
But he's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
You're on microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his red right hand
