Lyrics

[00:16.600] Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the track
[00:24.500] Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks
[00:33.000] Where secrets lie in the border fires is in the humming wires
[00:39.000] Hey man, you know you're never coming back
[00:42.000] Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stack
[00:49.400] On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
[00:53.500] In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
[01:06.200] He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy
[01:14.000] He'll rekindle all the dreams that took you a lifetime to destroy
[01:23.000] He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul
[01:28.000] But there won't be a single thing that you can do
[01:32.000] He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru
[01:39.250] They're whispering his name through this disappearing land
[01:43.600] But hidden in his coat Is a red right hand
[01:56.000] You don't have no money, he'll get you some
[02:04.200] You don't have no car, he'll get you one
[02:12.900] You don't have no self-respect, you feel like an insect
[02:17.800] Well don't you worry buddy, cause here he comes
[02:22.000] Through the ghetto and the barrio and the bowery and the slum
[02:29.000] A shadow is cast wherever he stands
[02:33.750] A stack of green paper in his red right hand
[04:01.200] You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams
[04:09.000] He'll appear out of nowhere, but he ain't what he seems
[04:17.850] You'll see him in your head on the TV screen
[04:22.000] Hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off
[04:26.000] But he's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
[04:33.250] You're a microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
[04:38.000] Designed and directed by his red right hand
