Born Under Punches — текст песни (Talking Heads)

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 can move in-between in-between it

And keep on step ahead, of yourself.



Dont you miss it, dont you miss it.

Some a you people just about missed it!

Last time to make plans!

Well Im a tumbler...

Im a government man.



Never seen anything like that before

Falling bodies tuble 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 dont even mention it!



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...where the hand has been...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...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 it 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!



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...and the heat goes on...

And the heat goes on...and the heat goes on...and the heat goes on...

Where the hands has been...and the heat goes on...and the heat goes

On...and the heat goes on...
