Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & Bad Seeds

Take a little walk to the (1)________ 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, (2)________ the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black (3)________ with
A red right hand

He'll (4)________ you in his arms
Tell you (5)________ you've been a (6)________ 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
Hey buddy, you know you're
Never ever turning back
He's a ghost, he's a god
He's a man, he's a guru
They're (7)____________________ his name
Through this (8)________________________ land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand

You ain't got no money?
He'll get you some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no self-respect
You feel like an insect
Well, buddy buddy, don't you worry
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 (9)________ 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 telling
You to turn it off...
He's a ghost, he's a god
He's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his red right hand
