| This is more than I can take |
| 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 |
| chorus1 - then jam: |
| Help me yeah |
| Ready to steam out the log jam |
| Stir crazy from the freezer to the foil |
| Water's bubbling, b-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 |
| Said give me some steam |
