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 |
|
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 face |
