Lyrics for 'Steam' by Peter Gabriel
[Intro]
Stand back
Stand back
[Verse 1]
What are those dogs doing, sniffing at my feet
They're onto something, pickin' up, pickin' up
This heat
This heat
[Chorus]
Give me steam
How you feel can make it real
Get a life with this dreamer's dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as anything you see
Get a life in 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
[Verse 3]
You know your stripper from your paint
You know your sinner from your saint
Whenever heaven's doors are shut
You get them open, but
I know you
[Chorus]
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
Oh, give me steam
Real as anything you see
Get a life in 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
[Verse 5]
You know your ladder from your snake
You know the throttle from the brake
You know your straight line from the curve
You've got a lot of nerve
But I know you
[Chorus]
Give me steam
And how you feel can make it real
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
Give me steam
Real as any place you've been
Get a life with this dreamer's dream
[Interlude]
Oh yeah, I need steam
Feel your steam around me
[Bridge]
Turning up the heat
I start to dream aloud
You move my hands and feet
Won't you step into this cloud
Of steam
This steam
[Chorus]
Give me steam
How you feel can make it real
Real as anything you've seen
Get a life with this dreamer's dream
Oh, give me steam
How you feel can make it so real
Get a life in this dreamer's dream
[Outro]
Help me yeah
Comin' alive
In your steam
Comin' alive
In your steam
Comin' alive
