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
then 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!
