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 You're 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 you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all those 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 He's a god, he's a man He's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name Through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat Is a red right hand You don't have no money? He'll get you some You don't have no car? He'll get you one You don't have no self-respect You feel like an insect Well don't 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
You'll see him in your nightmares You'll see him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere but He ain't 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 He's a ghost, he's a god He's a man, he's a guru You're the one microscopic cog In his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by His red right hand
