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 of 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 I 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 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 and the heat goes on) I'm a tumbler (And the heat goes on where the hand has been) Drowning cannot hurt a man Fire cannot hurt a man (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) Not the government man All I want is to breathe (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) Breathe with me Won't you breathe with me? (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) Find a little space (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) So we move in-between (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) Between it! And keep one step ahead of yourself (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) I'm catching up with myself All I want is to breathe (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) Won't you breathe with me? (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) Find a little space (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) So we move in-between (And the heat goes on and the heat goes on) And keep one step ahead of yourself
