Hand of God

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

2021

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
