Generate meaning
1
Take a little walk to the edge of town
2
And go across the tracks
3
Where the viaduct looms,
4
Like a bird of doom
5
As it shifts and cracks
6
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
7
In the humming wires
8
Hey man, you know
9
You're never coming back
10
Past the square, past the bridge,
11
Past the mills, past the stacks
12
On a gathering storm comes
13
A tall handsome man
14
In a dusty black coat with
15
A red right hand
16
He'll wrap you in his arms,
17
Tell you that you've been a good boy
18
He'll rekindle all the dreams
19
It took you a lifetime to destroy
20
He'll reach deep into the hole,
21
Heal your shrinking soul
22
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
23
He's a god, he's a man,
24
He's a ghost, he's a guru
25
They're whispering his name
26
Through this disappearing land
27
But hidden in his coat
28
Is a red right hand
29
You don't have no money?
30
He'll get you some
31
You don't have no car?
32
He'll get you one
33
You don't have no self-respect,
34
You feel like an insect
35
Well don't you worry buddy,
36
'Cause here he comes
37
Through the ghettos and the barrio
38
And the Bowery and the slum
39
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
40
Stacks of green paper in his
41
Red right hand
42
You'll see him in your nightmares,
43
You'll see him in your dreams
44
He'll appear out of nowhere but
45
He ain't what he seems
46
You'll see him in your head,
47
On the TV screen
48
Hey buddy, I'm warning
49
You to turn it off
50
He's a ghost, he's a god,
51
He's a man, he's a guru
52
You're one microscopic cog
53
In his catastrophic plan
54
Designed and directed by
55
His red right hand
