What's this song about?
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
23
that you can do
24
He's a god, he's a man,
25
he's a ghost, he's a guru
26
They're whispering his name
27
through this disappearing land
28
But hidden in his coat
29
is a red right hand
30
You don't have no money?
31
He'll get you some
32
You don't have no car?
33
He'll get you one
34
You don't have no self-respect,
35
you feel like an insect
36
Well don't you worry buddy,
37
'cause here he comes
38
Through the ghettos and the barrio
39
and the bowery and the slum
40
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
41
Stacks of green paper in his
42
red right hand
43
You'll see him in your nightmares,
44
you'll see him in your dreams
45
He'll appear out of nowhere but
46
he ain't what he seems
47
You'll see him in your head,
48
on the TV screen
49
And hey buddy, I'm warning
50
you to turn it off
51
He's a ghost, he's a god,
52
he's a man, he's a guru
53
You're one microscopic cog
54
in his catastrophic plan
55
Designed and directed by
56
his red right hand
