Take a litle walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
Youre never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms,
Tell you that youve 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
Hes a god, hes a man,
Hes a ghost, hes a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand

You aint got no money?
He'll get you some
You aint got no car? hell get you one
You aint got no self-respect,
You feel like an insect
Well dont you worry buddy,
Cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
And the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares,
You'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
He aint what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
On the tv screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
You to turn it off
Hes a ghost, hes a god,
Hes a man, hes a guru
Youre one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
His red right hand

Extra verse from dj spooky remix (from scream 2 soundtrack):
Hell extend his hand, real slowly for a shake
Youll see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake
(grabbing at your peril buddy? ) cause you know you aint
Getting near much as he will take.

Hes a...

Hes mumbling words you cant understand
Hes mumbling word behind his red right hand.
