Quiet Steam — текст песни (Peter Gabriel)

Released as b-side of "digging in the dirt" single, 1992.





Stand back

Stand back

What are those dogs doing, sniffing at my feet

Theyre 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 dreamers dream

Oh, give me steam

Real as anything you see

Get a life in this dreamers 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 heavens 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 dreamers dream

Oh, give me steam

Real as anything you see

Get a life in this dreamers dream



You know your green from your red

You know the quick from the dead

So much better than the rest

You think youve 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

Youve 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 dreamers dream



Oh, give me steam

Real as any place youve been

Get a life with this dreamers 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

Wont you step into this cloud

Of steam

This steam



Give me steam

How you feel can make it real

Real as anything youve seen

Get a life with this dreamers dream



Give me steam

How you feel can make it so real

Get a life in this dreamers dream



Help me yeah

Comin alive

In your steam

Comin alive

In your steam

Comin alive
