Foot Of Pride (Album Version) - Lou Reed (娄.里德)
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
