Steam

Peter Gabriel

Stand Back!

Stand Back!

What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet

They're on to something, picking up

Picking up this heat, this heat

{Chorus 1:}

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with this dreamer's dream

You know your culture from your trash

You know your plastic from your cash

When I lose sight of the track

You know the way back

But I know you

You know your stripper from your paint

You know your sinner from your saint

Whenever heaven's doors are shut

You kick them open but

I know you

{Chorus 2:}

Give me steam

And how you feel to make it real

Real as any place you've been

Get a life with the dreamer's dream

Stand back!

Stand back!

Can't you see I've lost control I'm getting indiscreet

You're moving in so close 'til I'm picking up

Picking up this heat, this heat

You know your green from your red

You know the quick from the dead

So much better than the rest

You think you've been blessed

But I know you

You know your ladder from your snake

You know the throttle from the brake

You know your straight line from a curve

You've got a lot of nerve

But I know you

Everybody nosedive

Hold your breath, count to five

Backslap, boobytrap,

Cover it up in bubblewrap

Room shake, earthquake

Find a way to stay awake

It's going to blow, it's going to break

This is more than I can take

Oh yeah, I need steam

Feel the steam all around me

Ah you're turning up the heat

When I start to dream aloud

See you move your hands and feet

Won't you step into this cloud of steam

This steam

Help me yeah

Ready to steam out the log jam

Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil

Water's bubbling, it's b..b..b..bubbling

bubbling

like it's coming to a boil

Give me steam, lady

Give me steam around me now

Aah coming alive

Said give me some steam
