Pride Goes Before A Fall

(album: Out Where Bright Lights Are Glowing - 1981)

Might as well admit it, you don't really love me
You've been acting funny for so long
It hurts to think that you think you're above me
But it hurts more to admit that I've been wrong

Need a bottle and a table, I can find those
Maybe they will help speed up times crazy crawl
Might as well go all out and join the wineos
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

Yes, pride goes before a fall, I've got a feeling
That I'm gonna sink much lower than them all
When we first met, I went way above the ceiling
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

Pour the wine, dim the lights, play the juke-box
Dance with every Sue and Betty that's around
Take her out and try your luck, that's what's expected
What's the difference, it can bring your honor down

You are now a full fledge member of the rat race
Forget everything that's decent, have a ball
What's the difference if you die in this or that place
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

What's the difference if you die in this or that place
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?
