Foot of Pride - Infidels Outtake

They say, "The wife got the husband drunk"

But I don't know I wasn't there, I was visiting a friend in jail

They sang "Danny Boy" at the funeral, and the Lord's Prayer

Preacher talking 'bout Christ betrayal

It's like the Earth just opened and swallowed him up

That he reached too high, tumbled back to the ground

You know what they say about being nice to the right people on the way up

Sooner or later, you gonna meet them coming down

Well, there ain't no goin' back

Ain't no goin' back

When the foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

He had a brother named Paul

You can find him at the Café Royale

Where Miss Trixie plays and the reviews are mixed

He's on the borderline, says, "Revenge is mine"

When he drinks, and drinks can be fixed

Sing me one more song about whiskey heaven

And your old cold-blooded love affair with Errol Flynn

In these times of compassion where conformity's in fashion

Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in

And the foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

You know the slave trades bloom

At the motor stampal room

Where a tired businessman named Red

Infects everyone he touched

He give money to the church

Foundations for research

He's not somebody you can play around with much

There's Miss Rosetta Black

If you're on the deep side of the track

She's rough to look at, but she's straight

She'll feed you coconut bread

Spiced buns in bed, and forget everything you said

You won't have to worry 'bout sleepin' with your face in the plate

Well, it doesn't come back, too late back

When the foot of pride come down

There ain't no goin' back

You gonna arrange to see a man tonight

Who'll tell you some secret things

You think may open some doors

How to enter in the bloody gates of Paradise? No

How to go crazy from a carrying a burden

It's never meant to be yours

Some of them thieves

Some sucker be doing the bumps and the grind

A whore will pass the hat

Collect a hundred grand and say thanks

They like to take all his money from sin

Build big prisons to do experiments in

Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks

Yeah, there ain't no goin' back

Ain't no goin' back

When that foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

They got some serious people in the visible world

They can ring your bell

And show you how to hold your tongue

They don't come to parliament

They kill babies in the crib

And say, only the good die young

They don't believe in mercy

Judgment on them is something you'll never see

Turn you into the Devil's daughter

Or lead you straight into the valley of slaughter

And you'll still be thinking

That you're the same person you used to be

Yeah, but there ain't no goin' back

When that foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

Yes, I loved him too

I can still see him in my mind

Climbin' up that hill

Hope he made it to the top

But he probably didn't and had to stop

Anyway, it don't matter and it never will

Ain't nothin' left here, partner

Just the dust of spoofs that have left their mark in space

From now on, this'll be where you're from

Let the dead bury the dead, your time will come

Feel that hot iron blowin' as you raise the shade

But there ain't no goin' back

Ain't no goin' back

When that foot of pride come down

Ain't no goin' back

Ain't no goin' back
