[Verse 1]
China gets broken
And it will never be the same
Boats on the ocean
They 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Steady on
Steady on
Steady on
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause he seemed like a miracle
Steady on
I ate it up like cereal
But it was something like shrapnel
[Chorus]
Steady on
Steady on
Oh, steady on
[Verse 3]
China gets broken
And it will never be the same
Boats on the ocean
They find their way back again
So let's line them up
In a row
Gun-shy
Ready, set, go
[Verse 4]
It's like ten miles of a two-lane
On a South Dakota wheat plain
In the middle of a hard rain
Steady on
A slow boat or a fast train
I am gonna keep my head on straight
I'm gonna keep my head on straight
I'm gonna keep my head on
[Chorus]
Oh, steady on
Steady on
Steady on
Steady on
Steady on
Steady on
Steady on
