Steam — текст песни (Peter Gabriel)

Stand Back!
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 1:}
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

{Chorus 2:}
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

[Chorus 1]

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 2]

Everybody nosedive
Hold your breath, count to five
Backslap, boobytrap,
Cover it up in bubblewrap
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

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 1]

Help me yeah
Ready to steam out the log jam
Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil
Water`s bubbling, it`s b..b..b..bubbling
bubbling [x4]
like it`s coming to a boil
Give me steam, lady
Give me steam around me now
Aah coming alive [x2]
Said give me some steam
