|Absus4
       They're on to something,
       |              Ab     |Ebm7      |
Picking up, picking up   this heat

CHORUS 1
       ||B                 |Gb/Bb            Db  |
Give me  steam, and how you feel can make it real,
|Ebm7                      |
 Real as any thing you've seen
          |B   |Gb          Db/Ab     |Ebm7       ||
Get a life_______ with this dreamer's  dream

VERSE B-1
|Ebm7                                 |     |
     You know your culture from your trash
     You know your plastic from your cash
|Ebm7                          |Bbm
     When I lose sight of the track
                |Abm
You know the way back
          |Ebm7    |
But I know you

VERSE B-2
  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

CHORUS 2
  Give me steam, and how you feel can make it real,
  Real as any place you've been
  Get a life with the dreamer's dream

VERSE A-2

  Stand back,
  Said stand back!

  Can't you see I've lost control and I'm getting
  indiscreet
  You're moving in so close 'til I'm
  Picking up, picking up this heat
  This heat

CHORUS 1
VERSE B-3 & 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 2
BRIDGE
||N.C./Db                                  ||
  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
||EBm7       |   AB/EB

VERSE A-3
  Oh yeah,
  I need steam
  Feel the steam around me

  Ah you're turning up the hear
  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
CODA
||Ebm7       |   Ab/Eb || (X 12 with these vocal ad lib)
Help me yeah
Ready to steam out the log jam
Stir crazy from the freezer to the foil
Water's bubbling, b...b...b...bubbling like it's
coming to the boil
Give me steam, lady
Give me steam around me now
Coming alive, coming alive
                 |Eb(no 3rd) ||
Said give me some steam
