(Bob Dylan)

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
