Steam by Peter Gabriel

Stand Back!
Stand Back!

What are (1)__________ dogs doing
sniffing at my feet
They're on to something, picking up
Picking up (2)________ heat, (3)________ heat

Give me steam
And how you feel to make it real
Real as anything you've seen
Get a (4)________ with (5)________ dreamer's dream

You know your culture (6)________ your trash
You know your plastic from your cash
When I (7)________ (8)__________ of the track
You know the way back
But I (9)________ you

You know (10)________ (11)________________ (12)________ your paint
You (13)________ your sinner from (14)________ saint
Whenever heaven's doors are shut
You kick them open but
I know you

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 (15)____________ in so close
'til I'm picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat


You know your green from your red
You know the quick from the dead
So much better (16)________ the rest
You think you've (17)________ blessed
But I (18)________ you

You know your ladder (19)________ your snake
You know the (20)________________ (21)________ the brake
You know your straight
line from a curve
You've got a lot of nerve
But I (22)________ you

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 (23)__________ all (24)____________ me
Ah you're (25)______________ up the heat
When I start to dream aloud
See you (26)________ your hands and feet
Won't you step into
this cloud of steam
This steam

Help me yeah
Ready to steam out the log jam
Stir crazy (27)________ the
freezer to the boil
Water's bubbling, it's
b..b..b..bubbling
bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling
like it's coming to a boil
Give me steam, lady
Give me steam around me now
Aah coming alive,
Aah coming alive
Said give me some (28)__________
