Stand Back!
|
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 1:]
|
Give me steam
|
And how you feel to make it real
|
Real as anything you've seen
|
Get a life with this 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
|
|
[Chorus 2:]
|
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 moving in so close 'til I'm picking up
|
Picking up this heat, this heat
|
|
[Chorus 1]
|
|
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 2]
|
|
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 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 1]
|
|
Help me yeah
|
Ready to steam out the log jam
|
Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil
|
Water's bubbling, it's b..b..b..bubbling
|
bubbling [x4]
|
like it's coming to a boil
|
Give me steam, lady
|
Give me steam around me now
|
Aah coming alive [x2]
|
Said give me some steam
|
|
