Red Right Hand Lyrics

Take a little walk to the edge of townGo across the tracksWhere the viaduct looms,ilke a bird of doomAs it shifts and cracksWhere secrets lie in the border fires,in the humming wiresHey man, you knowyou're never coming backPast the square, past the bridge,past the mills, past the stacksOn a gathering storm comesa tall handsome manIn a dusty black coat witha red right handHe'll wrap you in his arms,tell you that you've been a good boyHe'll rekindle all the dreamsit took you a lifetime to destroyHe'll reach deep into the hole,heal your shrinking soulHey buddy, you know you'renever ever coming backHe's a god, he's a man,he's a ghost, he's a guruThey're whispering his namethrough this disappearing landBut hidden in his coatis a red right hand
