Can't Run But

Paul Simon

I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run butI can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run butA cooling system
Burns out in the Ukraine
Trees and umbrellas
Protect us from the new rainArmies of engineers
To analyze the soil
The food we contemplate
The water that we boilI can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run butI can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run butI had a dream about us
In the bottles and the bones of the night
I felt a pain in my shoulder blade
'Twas like a pencil point, a love biteA couple was rubbing against us
Rubbing and doing that new dance
The man was wearing a jacket and jeans
The woman was laughing in advanceI can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run butI can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Cannot run butA winding river
Gets wound around a heart, pull it
Tighter and tighter
Until the muddy waters partDown by the river bank
A blues band arrives
The music suffers, baby
The music business thrives, ohI can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Cannot run butI can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
