Falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor
And the heat goes on where the hand has been
All I want is to breathe
(Thank you, thank you)
(I'm catching up with myself)
I'm not a drowning man
Won't you breathe with me?
All I want is to breathe
Some of you people just about missed it
Oh, take a look at these hands, they're passing in-between us
And I'm not a burning building! I'm a tumbler
(Don't you miss it! Don't you miss it!)
(Hands of a government man)
Drowning cannot hurt a man
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
Take a look at these hands, you don't have to mention it
Find a little space so we move in-between
Fire cannot hurt a man, not the government man
When you get to where you wanna be
(Thank you! Thank you!)
Find a little space so we move in-between
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
Won't you breathe with me?
Well I'm a tumbler born under punches, I'm so thin
(Well I'm a tumbler)
Take a look at these hands
Find a little space, so we move in-between
All I want is to breathe
The hand speaks, the hand of a government man
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
And keep one step ahead of yourself
And the heat goes on
(Well, don't even mention it)
Last time to make plans
When you get to where you wanna be
Won't you breathe with me?
(I'm too thin)
Don't you miss it, don't you miss it
(I'm so thin)
Never seen anything like that before
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
And keep one step ahead of yourself
And keep one step ahead, of yourself
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
And the heat goes on, where the hand has been
All I want is to breathe
No thanks, I'm a government man
And I'm a tumbler, I'm a government man
(In-between it)
(I got time)
