The Steam

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, please don't

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, please don't

Please don't try to make it right

Not tonight

Or any other night

She said I'm the one who made him put his gun down

And I said no, no, no, no, no

Please don't, please don't

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 who made him put his gun down

I'm the one who made him put his gun down
