lyrics
Steady Now
Steady now baby, steady now
Quit banging there on my door
I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t want to
Just have you right here on this floor
It’s been years since I found you put my arms around you
And we twisted our limbs into dreams
Did our best to keep up with that wild loving cup
Till we both ran out of steam
Our love ran out of steam
Steady Now
Steady now lady, steady now
Quit jabbering outside my door
I used to jangle them keys like a dog scratching fleas
I ain’t jangling keys anymore
I spent ten thousand days like a runaway slave
Living wild and toxic in style
Go ahead and get pissed
I don’t mean it as a diss
I need sleep for a little while
Let me sleep for a little while
Steady now
Steady now, mermaid, steady now
Are you swimming away from my door?
Did I forget to feed you?
Do you know that I need you?
Do I kneel on linoleum floor? I know you can’t be tamed, and I ain’t ashamed
To beg you for a goddamn bone
I quit jangling keys and I told her to leave
Still I wait at your empty throne
Must I wait at your empty throne?
Steady now
