Steam by Peter Gabriel

Stand Back!
Stand Back!

What are those (1)________ 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 to 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 to 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
'til I'm picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat


You know your green from your red
You know the quick from the dead
So much better than the rest
You think you've (2)________ blessed
But I (3)________ you

You know your ladder from your snake
You (4)________ the throttle from the brake
You know your straight
line from a curve
You've got a lot of nerve
But I (5)________ you

Everybody nosedive
Hold (6)________ breath, count to five
Backslap, boobytrap,
Cover it up in bubblewrap
Room shake, earthquake
Find a way to (7)________ 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

Help me yeah
Ready to steam out the log jam
Stir crazy (8)________ the
freezer to the boil
Water's bubbling, it's
b..b..b..bubbling
bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling
like it's coming to a boil
Give me steam, lady
Give me steam (9)____________ me now
Aah coming alive,
Aah coming alive
Said (10)________ me some steam
