Lyrics
[Intro] Ahh! Ooh! Woop! Ah! Oh, ah Ahh! [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] All I want is to breathe (I'm too thin) Won't you breathe with me? (Woop!) Find a little space, so we move in-between (In-between it) And keep one step ahead of yourself (Mm-issa, mm-issa, mm-ehha) [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] 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 (Ahh, thank you, thank you!) When you get to where you wanna be (Yeah, don't even mention it!) [Verse 3] Wooah, 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 [Guitar Solo] [Outro] 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 (Ahh!) 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 (Ehh, ehh) 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), and the heat goes on And the heat goes on (I want is to breathe), and the heat goes on (Thank you, thank you) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (Won't you breathe) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (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) (I'm so thin) 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) (I'm catching up with myself!) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (All I want) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (Is to breathe) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (Won't you breathe) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (With me?) (Hands of a government man) 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) (Don't you miss it, don't you miss it) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (All I want) And the heat goes on, and the heat goes on (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 (I'm a government man) 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 (Of yourself)
