| [00:22.84] | Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man |
| [00:28.79] | So can a woman who passes herself off as a male |
| [00:34.13] | They sang 'Danny Boy' at his funeral and the Lord's Prayer |
| [00:40.42] | Preacher talking about Christ betrayed |
| [00:47.36] | It's like the earth just opened and swallowed him up |
| [00:52.00] | He reached too high, was thrown back to the ground |
| [00:58.20] | You know what they say about bein' nice to the right people on the way up |
| [01:02.89] | Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin' down |
| [01:08.94] | Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down |
| [01:12.73] | Ain't no goin' back |
| [01:20.34] | oh no coming back when your foot of pride come down |
| [01:31.22] | Hear ya got a brother named James, don't forget faces or names |
| [01:37.51] | Sunken cheeks and his blood is mixed |
| [01:44.05] | He looked straight into the sun and said revenge is mine |
| [01:49.20] | But he drinks, and drinks can be fixed |
| [01:55.49] | Sing me one more song, about ya love me to the moon and the stranger |
| [02:01.03] | And your fall by the sword love affair with Erroll Flynn |
| [02:06.97] | in these times of compassion when conformity's in fashion |
| [02:11.62] | Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in. |
| [02:17.76] | Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down |
| [02:35.89] | Ain't no goin' back |
| [03:03.36] | There's a retired businessman named Red, cast down from heaven and he's out of his head |
| [03:14.98] | He feeds off of everyone that he can touch |
| [03:20.53] | He said he only deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crash |
| [03:27.47] | He's not somebody that you play around with much |
| [03:29.51] | Miss Delilah is his, a Philistine is what she is |
| [03:33.76] | She'll do wondrous works with your fate |
| [03:38.05] | Feed you coconut bread, spice buns in your bed |
| [03:43.58] | If you don't mind sleepin' with your head face down in a grave. |
| [03:48.59] | Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down |
| [03:55.92] | Ain't no goin' back |
| [04:12.21] | Well they'll choose a man for you to meet tonight |
| [04:17.81] | You'll play the fool and learn how to walk through doors |
| [04:23.50] | How to enter into the gates of paradise |
| [04:29.64] | No, |
| [04:29.39] | how to carry a burden too heavy to be yours |
| [04:34.98] | Yeah, from the stage they'll be tryin' to get water outta rocks |
| [04:41.33] | A whore will pass the hat, collect a hundred grand and say thanks |
| [04:49.13] | They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in |
| [04:53.32] | Sing 'Amazing Grace' all the way to the Swiss banks |
| [04:58.87] | Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down |
| [05:03.92] | Ain't no goin' back |
| [05:20.34] | They got some beautiful people out there, man |
| [05:23.63] | They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your tongue |
| [05:38.23] | They got mystery written all over their forehead |
| [05:40.42] | They kill babies in the crib and say only the good die young |
| [05:44.78] | They don't believe in mercy |
| [05:49.37] | Judgment on them is something that you'll never see |
| [05:57.16] | They can exalt you up or bring you down main route |
| [06:01.45] | Turn you into anything that they want you to be |
| [06:06.93] | Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down |
| [06:11.64] | Ain't no goin' back |
| [06:40.15] | Yes, I guess I loved him too |
| [06:41.70] | I can still see him in my mind climbin' that hill |
| [06:51.73] | Did he make it to the top, well he probably did and dropped |
| [06:57.58] | Struck down by the strength of the will |
| [07:04.46] | Ain't nothin' left here partner, just the dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid |
| [07:15.26] | From now on, this'll be where you're from |
| [07:18.66] | Let the dead bury the dead. Your time will come |
| [07:21.81] | Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade |
| [07:26.55] | Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down |
| [07:33.31] | Ain't no goin' back |
| [00:22.84] | Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man |
