| [00:17.23] |
Take a little walk to the edge of town |
| [00:21.17] |
Go across the tracks |
| [00:25.00] |
Where the viaduct looms Like a bird of doom |
| [00:28.69] |
As it shifts and cracks |
| [00:33.47] |
Where secrets lie in the border fires |
| [00:37.21] |
In the humming wires |
| [00:39.76] |
Hey man, you know You're never coming back |
| [00:43.53] |
Past the square, past the bridge |
| [00:44.49] |
Past the mills, past the stacks |
| [00:46.51] |
On a gathering storm comes |
| [00:52.34] |
A tall handsome man |
| [00:55.40] |
In a dusty black coat With a red right hand |
| [00:59.90] |
|
| [01:08.15] |
He'll wrap you in his arms |
| [01:10.95] |
Tell you that you've been a good boy |
| [01:15.99] |
He'll rekindle all the dreams |
| [01:19.31] |
It took you a lifetime to destroy |
| [01:24.79] |
He'll reach deep into the hole |
| [01:27.52] |
Heal your shrinking soul |
| [01:29.30] |
But there won't be a single thing that you can do |
| [01:33.80] |
He's a god, he's a man |
| [01:36.46] |
He's a ghost, he's a guru |
| [01:42.33] |
They're whispering his name |
| [01:44.38] |
Through this disappearing land |
| [01:46.56] |
But hidden in his coat Is a red right hand |
| [01:52.04] |
|
| [01:59.03] |
You don't have no money? |
| [02:02.21] |
He'll get you some |
| [02:08.19] |
You don't have no car? |
| [02:11.30] |
He'll get you one |
| [02:16.65] |
You don't have no self-respect |
| [02:19.18] |
You feel like an insect |
| [02:21.71] |
Well don't you worry buddy |
| [02:24.24] |
Cause here he comes |
| [02:26.64] |
Through the ghettos and the barrio |
| [02:28.14] |
And the Bowery and the slums |
| [02:33.72] |
A shadow is cast wherever he stands |
| [02:38.08] |
Stacks of green paper |
| [02:45.76] |
|
| [02:40.04] |
In his red right hand |
| [02:42.28] |
|
| [04:08.31] |
You'll see him in your nightmares |
| [04:10.92] |
You'll see him in your dreams |
| [04:16.22] |
He'll appear out of nowhere but |
| [04:19.64] |
He ain't what he seems |
| [04:24.98] |
You'll see him in your head |
| [04:27.29] |
On the TV screen |
| [04:29.78] |
And hey buddy, I'm warning |
| [04:31.81] |
You to turn it off |
| [04:34.09] |
He's a ghost, he's a god |
| [04:35.92] |
He's a man, he's a guru |
| [04:41.12] |
You're one microscopic cog |
| [04:42.98] |
In his catastrophic plan |
| [04:45.67] |
Designed and directed |
| [04:47.47] |
By his red right hand |
| [04:51.45] |
|
| [04:54.06] |
