Talking Heads Born Under Punches

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands
The hand speaks
The hand of a government man
Well I’m a tumbler
Born under punches
I’m so thin

[Chorus 1]
All I want is to breathe
(I’m too thin)
Won’t you breathe with me?
Find a little space, so we can move in-between in-between it
And keep on step ahead, of yourself

[Verse 2]
Don’t you miss it, don’t you miss it
Some 'a you people just about missed it
Last time to make plans
Well I’m a tumbler
I’m a government man

[Chorus 2]
Never seen anything like that before
Falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor
(well I’m a tumbler)
When you get to where you wanna be
(thank you, thank you)
When you get to where you wanna be
(don’t even mention it)

[Verse 3]
Take a look at these hands
They’re passing in-between us
Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands
You don’t have to mention it
No thanks
I’m a government man

[Bridge]
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
Where the hand has been
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on

I’m not a drowning man
And I’m not a burning building
(I’m a tumbler)
Drowning cannot hurt a man
Fire cannot hurt a man
(not the government man)

[Chorus 3]
All I want is to breathe
(Thank you, thank you)
Won’t you breathe with me?
Find a little space
So we move in-between (I’m so thin)
And keep one step ahead of yourself
(I’m catching up with myself)

All I want it to breathe
Won’t you breathe with me
(Hands of a government man)
Find a little space
So we move in-between
And keep one step ahead of yourself
(Don’t you miss it, don’t you miss it)

[Outro]
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
Where the hand has been
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
