Peter Gabriel — Steam

[Intro] Stand Back! Stand Back! [Verse 1] What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet They're on to something, picking up Picking up this heat, this heat [Chorus] Give me steam And how you feel can make it real Real as anything you've seen Get a life with this dreamer's dream [Verse 2] 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] Give me steam And how you feel can make it real Real as any place you've been Get a life with the dreamer's dream [Verse 3] Stand back! Stand back! Can't you see I've lost control I'm getting indiscreet You're moving in so close Until I'm picking up Picking up this heat, this heat [Chorus] Give me steam And how you feel can make it real Real as anything you've seen Get a life with this dreamer's dream [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Give me steam And how you feel could make it real Real as any place you've been Get a life with the dreamer's dream [Bridge] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] Give me steam And how you feel can make it real Real as anything you've seen Get a life with this dreamer's dream [Outro] Help me yeah Ready to steam out the log jam Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil Water's bubbling, it's bubbling Bubbling, bubbling Like it's coming to a boil Give me steam, lady Give me steam around me now Aah coming alive, coming alive Said give me some steam
