Lou Reed - Foot Of Pride Lyrics
(Bob Dylan)Like the lion tears the flesh off of a manso can a woman who passes herself off as a maleThey sang "Danny Boy" at his funeral and the Lord's Prayerpreacher talking 'bout Christ betrayedLike the earth just opened and swallowed him upreached too high, was thrown back to the groundYou know what they say about bein' nice to the right people on the way upsooner or later you gonna meet them comin' downOh, there ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride come downain't no comin' backOh, no, comin' back when your foot of pride come downain't no comin' backThey got a brother named James, don't forget faces or namessunken cheeks and his blood is mixedHe looked straight into the sun and said revenge is minebut he drinks, and drinks can be fixedSing me one more song, ha, about ya love me to the moon and the strangerand your fall by the sword love affair with Erroll FlynnIn these times of compassion when conformity's in fashionsay, one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven inOh, there ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride come downhey, hey, hey, heyOh, baby, ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride come downhey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ain't no comin' backThere's a retired businessman named Red ...cast down from heaven and he's out of his headHe feeds off of everyone that he can touchhe said he only deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crashNot somebody that you play around with much Miss Delilah is hisa Philistine is what she is, She'll do wondrous works with your fateAh, Feed you coconut bread, spice buns in your bedif you don't mind sleepin' with your head face
