Quiet Steam Lyrics - Peter Gabriel

Released as B-side of "Digging In The Dirt" single, 1992. 

Stand back 

Stand back 

What are those dogs doing, sniffing at my feet 

They're onto something, pickin' up, pickin' up 

This heat 

This heat 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 get them open, but 

I know you 

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

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 the curve 

You've got a lot of nerve 

But I know you 

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 any place you've been 

Get a life with this dreamer's dream 

Oh yeah, I need steam 

Feel your steam around me 

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 

Give me steam 

How you feel can make it real 

Real as anything you've seen 

Get a life with this dreamer's dream 

Give me steam 

How you feel can make it so real 

Get a life in this dreamer's dream 

Help me yeah 

Comin' alive 

In your steam 

Comin' alive 

In your steam 

Comin' alive
