Hand of God
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
There are some people trying to find out who
There are some people trying to find out why
There are some people aren’t trying to find anything
But that kingdom in the sky
In the sky
I’m going to the river
Where the current rushes by
I’m going to the river
Where the current rushes by
I’m gonna swim to the middle
Where the water is real high
Hand of God
Coming from the sky
Hand of God
Coming from the sky
Gonna swim to the middle
Stay out there for a while
Way down low
Way down low
Let the river cast its spell
Let the river cast its spell
On me
Singing boy sitting on the bridge
Singing boy sitting on the bridge
Throwing pennies off the edge
Peasants working in the fields
Keep their heads way down low
Way down low
Don’t want to let on what they know
Way down low
Way down low
Grab those pennies
Count them, ten
Grab those pennies
Count them, ten
Hand of God
Never come back up again
Let the river cast its spell
On me
You’re a body of water
Flowing across the bed
You’re a body of water
Spread across the hotel bed
Gonna swim to the middle
Never come up again
Let the river cast its spell
Let the river cast its spell
On me
Going to the river
Where the current rushes by
Going to the river
Where the current rushes by
Gonna swim to the middle
Stay out there a while
Let the river cast its spell
On me
