Red Right Hand

Nick Cave

Let Love In (also X-Files Scream)

Take a little 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

Hell wrap you in his arms

Tell you that youve been a good boy

Hell rekindle all those dreams

It took you a lifetime to destroy

Hell reach deep into the hole

Heal your shrinking soul

But there wont be a single thing that you can do

Hes a god hes a man

Hes a ghost hes a guru

Theyre whispering his name

Through this disappearing land

But hidden in his coat

Is a red right hand

You dont have no money?

Hell get you some

You dont have no car?

Hell get you one

You dont have no self-respect

You feel like an insect

Well dont you worry buddy

Cause here he comes

Through the ghetto and the barrio

And the bowery and the slum

A shadow is cast wherever he stands

A stack of green paper in his

Red right hand

Youll see him in your nightmares

Youll see him in your dreams

Hell appear out of nowhere but

He aint what he seems

Youll see him in your head

On the TV screen

And hey buddy Im warning

You to turn it off

Hes a ghost hes a god

Hes a man hes a guru

Youre the one microscopic cog

In his catastrophic plan

Designed and directed by

His red right hand
