"Can't Run But" lyrics

"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 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
The music suffers, baby, 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
