Peter Gabriel — Quiet Steam

[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
