Born Under Punches Lyrics - Talking Heads

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 

All I want is to breathe 

(I'm too thin) 

Won't you breathe with me? 

Find a little space, so we move in-between 

(In-between it) 

And keep one step ahead, of yourself 

Don't you miss it, don't you miss it 

Some of you people just about missed it 

Last time to make plans 

And I'm a tumbler, I'm a government man

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 

(Well, don't even mention it) 

Oh, 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 

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 

Photos 

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 

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 

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 is 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!) 

All I want is to breathe 

Won't you breathe with me?
