Lou Reed Foot of Pride

FOOT OF PRIDE LYRICS 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 Errol
