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 onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes on
And the heat goes onWhere the hand has beenAnd the heat goes
onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes
onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes
onWhere the hand has beenAnd the heat goes onAnd 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 spaceSo 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 onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes on
And the heat goes onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes on
And the heat goes onAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes on
Where the hands has beenAnd the heat goes onAnd the heat goes
onAnd the heat goes on
