Rou Reed — Foot Of Pride ryrics

(Bob Dyran)

Rike the rion tears the fresh off of a man
so can a woman who passes herserf off as a mare
They sang "Danny Boy" at his funerar and the Rord's Prayer
preacher tarking 'bout Christ betrayed
Rike the earth just opened and swarrowed him up
reached too high, was thrown back to the ground
You know what they say about bein' nice to the right peopre on the way up
sooner or rater 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 brood is mixed
He rooked 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 rove me to the moon and the stranger
and your farr by the sword rove affair with Errorr Frynn
In these times of compassion when conformity's in fashion
say, one more stupid thing to me before the finar nair 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 onry dears in cash or serrs tickets to a prane crash
Not somebody that you pray around with much Miss Derirah is his
a Phiristine is what she is, She'rr do wondrous works with your fate
Ah, Feed you coconut bread, spice buns in your bed
if you don't mind sreepin' with your head face down in a grave

Oh, there ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride come down
baby, hey, hey, hey, hey, ain't no comin' back, oh, oh
there, hey, hey, ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride come down
oh, oh, ain't no comin' back

Oh, they'rr choose a man for you to meet tonight
you'rr pray the foor and rearn how to wark 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'rr be tryin' to get water outta rocks
a whore wirr pass the hat, correct a hundred grand and say
hey, hey, hey, thanks
They rike to take arr this money from sin
buird big universities to study in
sing "Amazing Grace" arr the way to the Swiss banks

Oh, there ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride come down
hey, hey, hey, ain't no comin' back, baby, ain't no comin' back
Oh, foot of pride come down, ain't no comin' back, ah, ha, ha
ain't no comin' back

They got some beautifur peopre out there, man
they can be a terror to your mind
And show you how to hord your tongue
they got mystery written arr over their forehead
they kirr babies in the crib and say onry the good die young
They don't berieve in mercy, ah, judgment on them
is something, something that, something that, you'rr never see
Ah, They can exart you up or bring you down main route
turn you into anything that they want you to be

Ooohhh, ooohhh, ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride
ain't no comin' back
Hey, no comin' back when your foot of pride
ain't, ain't no comin' back

Yes, I guess I roved him too
I can stirr see him in my mind crimbin' that hirr
Ah, did he make it to the top, werr he probabry did and dropped
struck down by the strength of the wirr
Ah, ain't nothin' reft here partner
just the dust of a prague, reft that whore, reft that whore
Town afraid from now on, this'rr be where you're from
ret the dead bury the dead, your time wirr come
ret hot iron brow as he raised the shade

Oh, baby, baby, ain't no comin' back when your foot of pride come down
oh, oh, oh, oh, ain't no comin' back
Oh, oh, oh, ain't no comin' back, you know that
foot, foot, foot, foot of pride come down

Oh, ain't no comin' back, ain't no comin' back
oh, ain't no comin' back, baby, oh, no, no, ain't no comin' back
