I'm broke and I'm hungry, hard up and I'm lonely
I've been dancing on this killing floor for years
Of the few things I am certain, 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', there's a storm front comin' in
There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight
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
And I'd sing them blues to you
There's a dirty wind blowin', there's a storm front comin' in
There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight
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', there's a storm front comin' in
There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight
Steady now, Steady now, soldier hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
And heart attacks and broken dreams
Atlantis is my only dream tonight
