Bm
Take a little walk to the edge of
town and go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms like
a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks
        Em
Where secrets lie in the border fires
and the humming wires
                                   Bm
Well, you know you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks

Chorus:
     F#7
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
     E7
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms and tell ya
that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all of those dreams it
took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
And 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

Chorus:
They're whispering his name 'cross this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat is a red right hand

You don't have no money? He'll get you some
If you haven't got no car, he'll get you one
You've got no self-respect, you feel like an insect
Well, don't you worry, buddy, 'cause here he comes
Through the ghetto and the barrows
And the Bowery and the slums

Chorus:
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's not what he seems
You'll see him in your head and on the TV screen
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

Chorus:
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his red right hand
