Scream movie - Red Right Hand lyrics

Song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds<br /><br>

Take a litle walk to the edge of town<br>

Go across the tracks<br>

Where the viaduct looms,<br>

like a bird of doom<br>

As it shifts and cracks<br>

Where secrets lie in the border fires,<br>

in the humming wires<br>

Hey man, you know<br>

you're never coming back<br>

Past the square, past the bridge,<br>

past the mills, past the stacks<br>

On a gathering storm comes<br>

a tall handsome man<br>

In a dusty black coat with<br>

a red right hand<br>

<br>

He'll wrap you in his arms,<br>

tell you that you've been a good boy<br>

He'll rekindle all the dreams<br>

it took you a lifetime to destroy<br>

He'll reach deep into the hole,<br>

heal your shrinking soul<br>

Hey buddy, you know you're<br>

never ever coming back<br>

He's a god, he's a man,<br>

he's a ghost, he's a guru<br>

They're whispering his name<br>

through this disappearing land<br>

But hidden in his coat<br>

is a red right hand<br>

<br>

You ain't got no money?<br>

He'll get you some<br>

You ain't got no car? He'll get you one<br>

You ain't got no self-respect,<br>

you feel like an insect<br>

Well don't you worry buddy,<br>

cause here he comes<br>

Through the ghettos and the barrio<br>

and the bowery and the slum<br>

A shadow is cast wherever he stands<br>

Stacks of green paper in his<br>

red right hand<br>

<br>

[Organ solo]<br>

<br>

You'll see him in your nightmares,<br>

you'll see him in your dreams<br>

He'll appear out of nowhere but<br>

he ain't what he seems<br>

You'll see him in your head,<br>

on the TV screen<br>

And hey buddy, I'm warning<br>

you to turn it off<br>

He's a ghost, he's a god,<br>

he's a man, he's a guru<br>

You're one microscopic cog<br>

in his catastrophic plan<br>

Designed and directed by<br>

his red right hand<br>

<br>

[Organ solo]<br>

<br>

[Extra verse from DJ Spooky Remix (From Scream 2 Soundtrack):]<br>

He'll extend his hand, real slowly for a shake<br>

You'll see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake<br>

(Grabbing at your peril buddy?) cause you know you ain't<br>

getting near much as he will take.<br>

<br>

He's a... <br>

<br>

He's mumbling words you can't understand<br>

He's mumbling word behind his red right hand.<br>

<br>
