Steam |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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! |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
