Hand of God Songtext
von Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

There are some people tryin′ to find out who
There are some people tryin' to find out why
Then some people who aren′t tryin' to find anything
But that kingdom in the sky
In the sky

And 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 thе sky
Hand of God coming from the sky
Gonna swim to the middle and stay out thеrе a while
Way down low, way down low

Let the river cast its spell on me
Let the river cast its spell on me
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)
Ooh (hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)
Ooh (hand of God, hand of God)


Singin' boy sitting on the bridge
Singin′ 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 (hand of God)
Way down low, way down low (hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)
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
(Hand of God, hand of God)
Ooh (hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)

Near a body of water flowing across the bed
Near a body of water spread across the hotel bed
Gonna swim to the middle, never come up again

Let the river cast its spell on me
Let the river cast its spell on me
(Hand of God, hand of God, hand of God) Ooh
Ooh (hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)


I′m going to the river where the current rushes by
I'm going to the river where the current rushes by
Gonna swim to the middle
Stay out there a while (hand of God, hand of God, hand of God)
Let the river cast its spell on me
