Doherty, Peter - The Steam Lyrics






I just got back to town
And all these rumors did abound
About the dud hand fate had dealt
My brother who they found
Dead in the steam
Skin so cold and clean

Well, who's the one who took my brother down?
So won't you take me on downtown?
Now on vengeance path I'm bound
Dredging every dirty hole
Til at last I found
The redlit green eyed girl from some nether world
I said she's the one who took my brother down

And she said no, no, no, no, no
Please don't
Try to make it right, not tonight
Not any other night
Just the stones throw from a Lady of the night

And all the songs he sung
And then he went
I know he went
"Gotta love the steam"

So take me back downtown
To New Amsterdam I'm bound
Looking for the same girl I need to talk her round
To my way of thinking, and then we get to drinking
Pretty soon we will see eye to eye

Still she says no, no, no, no, no
Please don't
Try to make it right, not tonight
Or any other night
She said I'm the one made him put his gun down

And I said no, no, no, no, no
Please don't
Try to make it right
Said you're not mean enough
Can't dig the steam enough
She said I'm the one made him put his gun down
