[Verse 1]

Stand back

Said 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]

Give me steam

And how you feel can make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with 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

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]

Give me steam

And how you feel can make it real

Real as any place you've been

Get a life with the dreamer's dream

[Verse 3]

Stand back

Said stand back

Can't you see I've lost control, I'm getting indiscreet

You're moving in so close until I'm picking up

Picking up this heat, this heat

[Chorus]

Give me steam

And how you feel can make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with 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

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]

Give me steam

And how you feel could make it real

Real as any place you've been

Get a life with the dreamer's dream

[Bridge]

Everybody nosedive

Hold your breath, count to five

Back-slap, booby-trap

Cover it up in bubble wrap

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

[Verse 5]

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]

Give me steam

And how you feel can make it real

Real as anything you've seen

Get a life with this dreamer's dream

[Outro]

Help me yeah

Ready to steam out the log jam

Stir-crazy from the freezer to the boil

Water's bubbling, bi-bi-b-bi-bubbling, bubbling

Bubbling, bubbling, bubbling

Like it's coming to a boil

Give me steam, lady

Give me steam around me now

Coming alive, coming alive

Said give me some steam
