Paul Simon
Can’t Run But (2018)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
Cannot run but
[Interlude]
Ooh, we
Ooh, we
[Verse 2]
I had a dream about us
After that long goodnight
I felt a pain in my shoulder blade
It 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
[Chorus]
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
Cannot run but
[Flute and Strings Solo]
[Verse 3]
The legend is a winding river
Winds around the heart
Tighter and tighter
'Til the muddy waters part
Down by the river bank
A DJ arrives
The sub-bass feels like an earthquake
The top end cuts like knives
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Ooh, we
Ooh, we
