Steam

[Intro]
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]
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 1]
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 2]
Stand back!
Said 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 3]
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
Back-slap, booby-trap
Cover it up in bubble wrap
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

[Verse 4]
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

[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, bubbling, 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!
