I'm broke and I'm hungry, I'm hard up and I'm lonely I been dancing on this killing floor for years And 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 blowing, there's a storm front coming There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight Steady now, steady now, soldier hold fast now It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
We used to drive all night, all over town We go Waltzing Matilda, when Matilda came around and I always sang them blues to you
There's a dirty wind blowing, there's a storm front coming in There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight Steady now, steady now, soldier hold fast now It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight On heart attacks and broken dreams Atlantis is my only dream tonight
