About the Artist
Lyrics
Are you ready? (Yeah-yeah-yeah) Yeah-yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah) Yeah-yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah) 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 Where secrets lie in the border fires in the humming wires Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the bridge, and the galley, and the river, and the stacks Well, on a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a red right hand, yeah He'll wrap you up in his arms, tell you that you've been good girls and boys He'll rekindle all of those dreams, it took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking souls But don't you worry, buddy, he ain't coming back He's a ghost, he's a God, he's a man, he's a guru Well, they're whispering his name through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a red right hand, whoo! Yeah-yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah) You ain't got no money? He'll get you some You ain't got no money? He'll get you some I don't know what that is Oh, it's me? You ain't got no money? He'll get you some You don't like this stupid little dog? He'll get you a completely different one 'Cause we've lost our self-respect, we feel like fuckin' a insect Don't you worry, buddy, 'cause here he comes Through the barrio and the Bowery and the ghetto and the slum You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand, yeah Yeah, yeah-yeah Here we go, here we go Yeah Yeah, here we go From the back there Oh, here we go Alright Whoo! You'll see him in your nightmare, you'll meet him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere, but he ain't what he seems You'll see him in your head, on that stupid little screen Hey baby, I'm warning 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 Aw! Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Paris All of that Whoo!
