The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet, why don't they:
Do what they say, say what you mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another.
The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see comes from living close
To your fears
If this is up then I'm up but you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump leads to shock miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat, why don't they:
Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another
Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough
Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
You runs for cover in the heat why don't they
Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You tell me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another (Repeat)
Steam
Ah steam
You know it's steam
It's now been fifteen days since you've been steamed at me
And i don't want+ your frustration and your madness
Pushed and blamed on me
'Cos you're crazy through the day
And you're crazy through the night
And, what the hell, you've been crazy all your life
And I don't want people thinking I'm not treating you right
Refrain:
It's the nature of it,
Steam
When you're saying those things
that you don't really mean
You can blame it on the rain
You can blame it on the heat
It's the nature of it
Steam
I have my morals
And I have decent respect
For our relationship
I hope that you are doin' all your best
Well I'm not so great
But I'm better in other ways
You can't see them
But I'm trying anyway
And it's the nature of the game
That's what I claim
Chorus
You seem to put it all on me
The sky, your health
Your dreams and your beliefs
And I seem to protect and respect
everything
too naturally
Steam,
You know it's steam
More days, more days
I'm steamed in every way
I said, no way, no way
I'm steamed in every way
Chorus
More days, more days
I'm steamed in every way
I said, no way, no way
I'm steamed in every way
I said more days, more days,
I'm steamed in every way
I said, no way, no way,
This is where I stay
