Paul Simon - Can't Run But lyrics

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 in 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

I had a dream about us
In the bottles and the bones of the night
I felt a pain in my shoulder blade
Was 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 riverbank, a blues band arrives

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
