Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Chorus 1:]
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.

[Verse 2:]
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.

[Chorus 2:]
Never seen anything like that before
Falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor
(But 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!)

[Verse 3:]
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.

[Bridge:]
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 (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.

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!)
And the heat goes on (All I want is to breathe)
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on (Thank you! Thank you!)
And the heat goes on (Won't you breathe with me?)
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
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 (No smoking)
And the heat goes on (And keep one step ahead)
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on (Of yourself)
And the heat goes on (I'm catching up with myself!)
And the heat goes on (All I want is to breathe)
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
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
And the heat goes on (Hands of a government man.)
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)
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on (Of yourself)
And the heat goes on (Don't you miss it! Don't you miss it!)
And the heat goes on (All I want is to breathe)
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
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
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)
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on (Of yourself)
