Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) (Live) - David Byrne

Lyrics by：Brian Eno/Chris Frantz/David Byrne/Jerry Harrison/Tina Weymouth

Composed by：David Byrne

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

Won't you breathe with me

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

Some 'a you people just about missed it

Last time to make plans

I'm a tumbler

I'm a government man

Never seen anything like that before

Falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor

I said I'm a tumbler

When you get to where you wanna be

Don't even mention it

When you get to where you wanna be

Thank you thank you

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 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

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

And the heat goes on

I'm not a drowning man

And the heat goes on

And the heat goes on

And I'm not a burning building

And the heat goes on

I'm a tumbler

And the heat goes on

Drowning cannot hurt a man

Where the hand has been

And the heat goes on

Fire cannot hurt a man

And the heat goes on

Not the government man

All I want is to breathe

Breathe with me

Won't you breathe with me

Find a little space so we move in-between

And keep one step ahead of yourself

I'm catching up with myself

All I want is to breathe

What what

Won't you breathe with me

Find a little space so we move in-between

And keep one step ahead of yourself
