Stand back
So stand back

What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet
They’re on to something
Picking up, picking up this heat, this heat

Give me steam and how you feel could make it real
Real as anything you’ve seen
Get a life with the 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

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

Stand back
So stand back

Can’t you see I’ve lost control, I’m getting indiscreet
You’re moving in so close
Till I’m picking up, picking up this heat, this heat

Give me steam and how you feel could make it real
Real as anything you’ve seen
Get a life with the dreamer’s dream

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

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

Everybody nosedive, hold your breath, count to five
Back slap, booby trap, cover it up in bubble wrap
Rump shake, earthquake, find a way to stay awake
It’s gonna blow, it’s gonna break, this is more than I can take

Oh yeah, I need steam
Feel the steam 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

Give me steam and how you feel could make it real
Real as anything you’ve seen
Get a life with the dreamer’s dream
Help me out

Ready to steam out the log, yeah
Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil
Water be bubbling, b-b-b-b-bubbling, bubbling
Bubbling, bubbling, bubbling like it’s coming to the boil
Give me steam, lady, give me now steam around me now
Oh no, I’m coming alive
Said give me some steam
