lyrics

Hey
The sun’s warm across your face
And we could be anyplace
We will find everything that we have ever misplaced

The sun
Broke out so damn clear today
Burned all my sadness away
And now this year, we’re making a bit of fucking headway

We’ll all have
Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands
And we’ll be filling that bandstand
Living in high demand

We
Have been doing alright of late
There’s no one manipulatin’
Watch me pull right out of the driveway and accelerate

We
Will keep doing alright, I guess
With our sort of printing press
We’ll come late, oh, and we will come overdressed

We’ll all have
Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands
And we’ll be the new shorthand,
Rockin’ on a baby grand

Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands

'Cause I climbed out of the quicksand for a breath of fresh air
And I left my little homeland with my worn out footwear
But my steady hands will get me what I never got from prayer

We’ll all have
Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands
Steady hands, steady hands
And we’ll be walking through dreamland
Nothing there but ampersands
