Lyrics

I don't know why I said
The first damned thing that popped into my head
Sticks and stones will break mendable bones
But words'll make you feel cuts that never can heal

STEAM CONTROL, that's all it is, you say,
STEAM CONTROL
Lettin' off steam before some inner valve blows
STEAM CONTROL

You ask me to make a choice
Amiable words, a bitter tone of voice.
You indict, you say that I won't fight
You think I'm saving it up for some later blow-up

STEAM CONTROL, that's all it is, you say,
STEAM CONTROL
Lettin' off steam before some inner valve blows
STEAM CONTROL

You break a glass, 'cause I'm such a man
I break a plate I say I am what I am
We break the bank replacing broken dishes
But we’re saving our hearts, we’re expressin’ our wishes

STEAM CONTROL, that's all it is, you say,
STEAM CONTROL
Lettin' off steam before some inner valve blows
STEAM CONTROL

Well, lettin' off steam before some inner valve blows
STEAM CONTROL,
STEAM CONTROL….(fade out)
