Foot of Pride - Lou Reed

Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man

So can a woman who passes herself off as a male

They sang danny boy at his funeral

and the lords prayer

Preacher talking bout christ betrayed

Its like the earth just opened

and swallowed him up

He reached too high,

was thrown back to the ground

You know what they say about

bein nice to the right people on the way up

Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin down

Well, there aint no goin back

when your foot of pride come down

ain't no comin' back

Oh, no, comin' back

when your foot of pride come down

ain't no comin' back

They got a brother named James,

don't forget faces or names

sunken cheeks and his blood is mixed

He looked straight into

the sun and said revenge is mine

but he drinks, and drinks can be fixed

Sing me one more song, ha,

about ya love me to the moon and the stranger

and your fall by the sword

love affair with Erroll Flynn

In these times of compassion

when conformity's in fashion

say, one more stupid thing

to me before the final nail is driven in

Oh, there ain't no comin' back

when your foot of pride come down

hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh, baby, ain't no comin' back

when your foot of pride come down

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

ain't no comin' back

There's a retired businessman named Red

cast down from heaven and he's out of his head

He feeds off of everyone that he can touch

he said he only deals in cash

or sells tickets to a plane crash

Not somebody that you play around

with much Miss Delilah is his

a Philistine is what she is,

She'll do wondrous works with your fate

Ah, Feed you coconut bread,

spice buns in your bed

if you don't mind sleepin' with your

head facedown in a grave

Well, there ain't no goin' back

when your foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

Well, there ain't no goin' back

when your foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

Well they'll choose a man for you to meet tonight

You'll play the fool

and learn how to walk through doors

How to enter into the gates of paradise?

No, how to carry a burden too heavy to be yours?

Yeah, from the stage they'll

be tryin' to get water outta rocks

A whore will pass the hat,

collect a hundred grand and say thanks

They like to take all this money from sin

Build big universities to study in

Sing, Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks

Well, there ain't no goin' back

when your foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

Ain't no goin' back

oh your foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

Ain't no goin' back

They got some beautiful people out there, man

They can be a terror to your mind

and show you how to hold your tongue

They got mystery written all over their forehead

They kill babies in the crib

and say only the good die young

They don't believe in mercy

Judgment on them is something

is something is something that you'll never see

They can exalt you up or bring you down main route

Turn you into anything that they want you to be

Well, there ain't no goin' back

when your foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride

Ain't no goin' back

Yes, I guess I loved him too

I can still see him in my mind climbin' that hill

Did he make it to the top,

well he probably did and dropped

Struck down by the strength of the will

Ain't nothin' left here partner

Just the dust of a plague that has left this whole

left this whole town afraid

From now on, this'll be where you're from

Let the dead bury the dead, your time will come

Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade

Ain't no goin' back

when your foot of pride come down

oh Ain't no goin' back,

oh Ain't no goin' back

when your foot of pride come down

oh Ain't no goin' back,

Ain't no goin' back,

Ain't no goin' back,

Oh no Ain't no goin' back
