Shawn Colvin - Steady On lyrics

S. Colvin - J. Leventhal 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!
