Intro -
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

Verse 1-
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
Chorus -
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

Verse 2 -
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
Chorus -
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

Chorus -
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
