Peter Gabriel - Steam lyrics

stand back! 'said 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 can make it real Real as anything you've seen Get a life with the 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 can make it real Real as any place you've been Get a life with the dreamer's dream Stand back! 'said 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 [chorus 1] 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 leather 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 2] Everybody nosedive Hold your breath, count to five Backslap, b**bytrap Cover it up in bubblewrap Room shake, earthquake Find a way to stay awake It's gonna blow, it's gonna break This is more than i can take Oh yeah, i need steam Feel the steam around me Ah you're turning up the heat When i start to dream aloud 'til you're movin' hands and feet Won't you step into this cloud of steam This steam [chorus 1] 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 bubbling bubbling bubbling Life is coming to the boil Gimme steam, lady Gimme the steam around me now On a high, coming alive 'said gimme some steam!
