Foot of Pride Lou Reed

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 Lord's Prayer
Preacher talking 'bout Christ betrayed
Like the earth just opened and swallowed him up
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

Oh, there ain't no comin' 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
