Quiet Steam - Peter Gabriel

Stand back

Stand back

What are those dogs doing, sniffing at my feet

They’re onto something, pickin' up, pickin' up

This heat

This heat

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

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 get them open, but

I know you

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

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 the curve

You’ve got a lot of nerve

But I know you

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

Oh yeah, I need steam

Feel your steam around me

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

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

Help me yeah

Comin' alive

In your steam

Comin' alive

In your steam

Comin' alive
