(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
