Can't Run But Lyrics - Paul Simon

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

A cooling system 

Burns out in the Ukraine 

Trees and umbrellas 

Protect us from the new rain 

Armies of engineers 

To analyze the soil 

The food we contemplate 

The water that we boil

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

Oo-we Oo-we 

I had a dream about us 

In the bottles and the bones of the night 

I felt a pain in my shoulder blade 

Like a pencil point? A love bite? 

A couple was rubbing against us 

Rubbing and doing that new dance 

The man was wearing a jacket and jeans 

The woman was laughing in advance

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

A winding river 

Gets wound around a heart. Pull it 

Tighter and tighter 

Until the muddy waters part 

Down by the river bank 

A blues band arrives 

The music suffers 

The music business thrives 

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

I can't run but 

I can walk much faster than this 

Can't run but 

Oo-we Oo-we
