Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) Songtext / Lyric

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 can 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!

Well I'm a tumbler, I'm a Government man

Never seen anything like that before






Falling bodies tuble '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 don't even mention it!

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

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

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 it 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!



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

On, and the heat goes on
