Like the l ion tears the flesh off of a man
So can a w oman who passes herself off as a male
They sang "D anny Boy" at his funeral and the Lord's Prayer
The p reacher talking 'bout Christ betrayed
It's like the e arth just opened and swallowed him up
He reached too h igh was thrown back to the ground
You know w hat they say about bein' nice to the right people on the way up
S ooner or later you gonna meet them comin' down
Well there a in't no goin' b ack
When your f oot of pride come down
Ain't no g oin' back
Hear ya got a brother named J ames don't forget faces or names
Sunken cheeks and his blood is m ixed
He looked s traight into the sun and said revenge is mine
But he d rinks and drinks can be fixed
Sing me o ne more song about ya love me to the moon and the stranger
And your f all-by-the sword love affair with Errol Flynn
In these t imes of compassion when conformity's in fashion
Say o ne more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in.
Well there a in't no goin' b ack
When your f oot of pride come down
Ain't n o goin' back
There's a ret ired businessman named Red
Cast d own from heaven and he's out of his head
He f eeds off of everyone that-a he can touch
He said he o nly deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crash
N ot 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
Feed you c oconut bread spice buns in your bed
If you d on't mind sleepin' with your head face down in a grave
Well there a in't no goin' b ack
When your f oot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' b ack
Well they'll c hoose a man for you to meet tonight
You'll p lay the fool and learn how to walk through doors
How to e nter into the gates of paradise - no ...
How to c arry a burden too heavy to be yours
Yeah from the s tage they'll be tryin' to get water outa rocks
A w hore will pass the hat collect a hundred grand and say thanks
They like to t ake all this money from sin build big universities to study in
Sing "Am azing Grace" all the way to the Swiss banks
Well there a in't no goin' b ack
When your f oot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' b ack
They got some b eautiful people out there man
They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your t ongue
They got m ystery written all over their forehead
They kill b abies in the crib and say only the good die young
T hey don't believe in mercy
J udgement on them is something that you'll never see
They can ex alt you up or bring you down main route
Turn you i nto anything that they want you to be
Well there a in't no goin' b ack
When your f oot of pride come down
Ain't no g oin' back
Y es I guess I loved him too
I can s till see him in my mind climbin' that hill
Did he m ake 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 d ust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid
From n ow on this'll be where you're from
Let the de ad bury the dead. Your time will come
Let hot ir on blow as he raised the shade
There a in't no goin' b ack
When your foot of pride come down
Ain't no g oin' back ... oh yeah
