Born Under Punches

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 on step ahead, of yourself.Don't you miss it, don't you miss it.Some 'a 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 beforeFalling 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 handsTake 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 (Wheeeep!) heat goes onAnd the heat goes on [heeh heeh]...And the heat goes onAnd the heat goes on [brbbrbbrb]...Where the hand has been [chtktktktk]And the heat goes on...And the heat goes on [aaaaaiiiigh!]And the heat goes on... [I got time!] And the heat goes onAnd the heat goes on...And the heat goes onAnd the heat goes on...Where the hand (Oooip!) has beenAnd the heat goes on...And the heat (hehuh hehuh hehuh hehuh) 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 [brehuh ehuh]Won't you breathe with me [Hands of a Government Man]Find a little space so we move in-betweenAnd keep one step ahead of yourself. [Don't you miss it! Don't youmiss 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
