Lyrics Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) - 2005 Remaster - 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
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?
Find
a
little
space
so
we
move
in-between
And
keep
one
step
ahead
of
yourself
