I'm broke and I'm hungry, hard up and I'm lonely
I've been dancin' on this killin' floor for years
Of the few things I am certain, I'm the captain of my burden
I'm sorry, doll, I could never stop the rain
Once you said I was your hero
You would dance with me on a dime
We could spin this world right, right, right 'round
And catch back up on the flip side
I was gonna get this real big engine
I was gonna get them Broadway stars
You were gonna be my Judy Garland
We were gonna share your Tin Man heart
There's a dirty wind blowin' in
There's a storm front comin' in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
So, steady now, steady now
Soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
We used to drive all night
All over town
We'd go waltzing Matilda
When Matilda came around
I'd sing them blues to you
There's a dirty wind blowin' in
There's a storm front comin' in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
So, steady now, steady now
Soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
There's a dirty wind blowin' in
There's a storm front comin' in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
So, steady now, steady now
Soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
There's a dirty wind blowin' in
There's a storm front comin' in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
So, steady now, steady now
Soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams
And heart attacks and broken dreams
Atlantis is my only dream tonight
