Well, there ain't no goin'
back when your foot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' back
Hear ya 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, 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.
Well, there ain't no goin'
back when your foot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' 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
He's 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
Feed you coconut bread, spice
buns in your bed
If you don't mind sleepin'
with your head face down in a grave.
Well, there ain't no goin'
back when your foot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' back
Well they'll choose a man for
you to meet tonight
You'll play the fool and learn
how to walk 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'll
be tryin' to get water outta rocks
A whore will pass the hat,
collect a hundred grand and say thanks
They like to take all this
money from sin, build big universities to study in
Sing "Amazing Grace" all the
way to the Swiss banks
Well, there ain't no goin'
back when your foot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' back
They got some beautiful people
out there, man
They can be a terror to your
mind and show you how to hold your tongue
They got mystery written all
over their forehead
They kill babies in the crib
and say only the good die young
They don't believe in mercy
Judgment on them is something
that you'll never see
They can exalt you up or bring
you down main route
Turn you into anything that
they want you to be
Well, there ain't no goin'
back when your foot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' back
Yes, I guess I loved him too
I can still see him in my
mind climbin' that hill
Did he make 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 dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid
From now on, this'll be where
you're from
Let the dead bury the dead.
Your time will come
Let hot iron blow as he raised
the shade
Well, there ain't no goin'
back when your foot of pride come down
Ain't no goin' back
