Peter Gabriel - Steam [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Stand Back!
Stand Back!

[Verse 1]
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 to 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 to make it real
Real as any place you've been
Get a life with the dreamer's dream

[Verse 3]
Stand back!
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 to 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 to make it real
Real as any place you've been
Get a life with the dreamer's dream

[Verse 5]
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]
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

[Outro]
Help me yeah
Ready to steam out the log jam
Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil
Water's bubbling, it's bubbling
Bubbling, bubbling
Like it's coming to a boil
Give me steam, lady
Give me steam around me now
Aah coming alive, coming alive
Said give me some steam
