crd lyr
B Take a little walk to the edge of town, go across the tracks
B Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom, as it shifts and cracks
E Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires,
Hey man, you know you’re never coming back
B Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks
F# Оn a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
E In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
B
B
B He’ll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you’ve been a good boy
B He’ll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy
E He’ll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul,
But there won’t be a single thing that you can do
B He’s a ghost, he’s a god, he’s a man, he’s a guru
F# They’re whispering his name through this disappearing land
E But hidden in his coat is a red right hand
B
B
B You don’t own no money? He’ll get you some
B You don’t have no car? He’ll get you one
E You don’t have no self respect, you feel like an insect,
Well don’t you worry buddy cause here he comes
B Through the ghetto and the barrio and the bowery and the slum
F# A shadow is cast wherever he stands
E Stacks of green paper in his red right hand

crd lyr
B You’ll see him in your nightmares, you’ll see him in your dreams
B He’ll appear out of nowhere but he aint what he seems
E You’ll see him in your head, on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I’m warning you to turn it off
B He’s a ghost, he’s a god, he’s a man, he’s a guru
F# You’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
E Designed and directed by his Red Right Hand
