Can`t Run But lyrics

Artist  : Paul Simon 
Song : Can`t Run But
 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this 
Can’t run but 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this 
Can’t run but 
 
A cooling system  
Burns out the Ukraine 
Trees and umbrellas 
Protect us from the new rain 
Armies of engineers 
To analyze the soil 
The food we contemplate 
The water that we boil 
 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this  
Can’t run but 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this 
Can’t run but 
Oo-we Oo-we 
 
I had a dream about us 
In the bottles and the bones of the night 
I felt a pain in my shoulder blade 
Like a pencil point? A love bite? 
A couple was rubbing against us  
Rubbing and doing that new dance 
The man was wearing a jacket and jeans 
The woman was laughing in advance 
 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this  
Can’t run but 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this 
Can’t run but 
 
A winding river 
Gets wound around a heart. Pull it 
 
Tighter and tighter 
Until the muddy waters part 
Down by the river bank 
A blues band arrives 
The music suffers 
The music business thrives 
 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this 
Can’t run but 
I can’t run but 
I can walk much faster than this 
Can’t run but 
Oo-we Oo-we
