Born Under Punches

[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
