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
iím 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
then things exploded
like rockets in the dark
now i'm pulling out splinters
and iím 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!
