Steady On (Album Version)

China gets broken

And it will never be the same

Boats on the ocean

Find their way back again

I am weaving

Like a drunkard

Like a balloon up in the air

I am needing a puncture and someone

To point me somewhere

I'm gonna keep my head on straight

I just hope it's not too late

Open up the gate I go straight on, steady on

Steady on!

I was feeling imploded

A wooden smile, a wooden heart

The things exploded

Like rockets in the dark

Now I'm pulling out splinters

And I'm off to hibernate somewhere

For the nuclear winter

Of another love affair

'Cause he seemed like a miracle

I ate it up like cereal

But it was something like shrapnel

Steady on!

It's like ten miles of a two-lane

On a South Dakota wheat plain

In the middle of a hard rain

A slow boat or a fast train

I am gonna keep my head on straight

I'm gonna keep my head on straight

Steady on!
