Talking Heads – Born Under Punches The Heat Goes On Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 51 Second

Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands
The hand speaks
The hand of a government man
Well, Im a tumbler
Born under punches
Im so thin

All I want is to breathe
Im too thin
Wont you breathe with me?
Find a little space
So we move in-between
In-between it
And keep one step ahead of yourself

Dont you miss it, dont you miss it
Some of you people just about missed it
Last time to make plans
And Im a tumbler
Im a government man

Never seen anything like that before
Falling bodies tumble cross the floor
Well, Im a tumbler
When you get to where you wanna be
Thank you! Thank you!
When you get to where you wanna be
Well, dont even mention it

Oh, take a look at these hands
Theyre passing in-between us
Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands
You dont have to mention it
No, thanks
Im a government man

And the heat goes on 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

And the heat goes on
I got time
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

Im not a drowning man
And Im not a burning building
Im a tumbler
Drowning cannot hurt a man
Fire cannot hurt a man
Not the government man

All I want is to breathe
Thank you, thank you
Wont you breathe with me?
Find a little space
So we move in-between
Im so thin
And keep one step ahead of yourself
Im catching up with myself

All I want is to breathe
Wont 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
Dont you miss it! Dont you miss it!

All I want is to breathe
Wont you breathe with me?
