Steam is the technical term for water vapor, the gaseous phase of water, which is formed when water boils. In common language it is often used to refer to the visible mist of water droplets formed as this water vapor condenses in the presence of cooler air. At lower pressures, such as in the upper atmosphere or at the top of high mountains water boils at a lower temperature than the nominal 100 °C (212 °F) at standard temperature and pressure. If heated further it becomes superheated steam.
The enthalpy of vaporization is the energy required to turn water into the gaseous form when it increases in volume by 1,600 times at standard temperature and pressure; this change in volume can be converted into mechanical work by steam engines and steam turbines. Steam engines played a central role to the Industrial Revolution and modern steam turbines are used to generate electricity. If liquid water comes in contact with a very hot substance (such as lava, or molten metal) it can create a steam explosion. Steam explosions have been responsible for many foundry accidents and may also have been responsible for much of the damage to the plant in the Chernobyl accident.
Gabe Logan Newell (born November 3, 1962) is the co-founder and managing director of the video game development and online distribution company Valve Corporation.
After having dropped out of Harvard University Newell spent thirteen years working for Microsoft Corporation, ultimately becoming a "Microsoft Millionaire". Newell has described himself as "producer on the first three releases of Windows". Inspired by Michael Abrash, who left Microsoft to work on the computer game Quake at id Software, Newell and another Microsoft employee, Mike Harrington, left Microsoft to found Valve in 1996. He and Harrington used their money to fund Valve through the development of Half-Life.
During production on Half-Life 2, he spent several months focusing on the Steam project.
In 2007, Newell openly expressed his displeasure over developing his software for gaming consoles, particularly the PlayStation 3. In regard to the system, Newell was once quoted as claiming that developing processes for the console in general was "a waste of everybody's time" and "a disaster on many levels ... I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a do over. Just say, 'This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it'." Nevertheless, at E3 in 2010, Newell appeared on stage at Sony's keynote; while acknowledging his past outspoken comments on console development, he discussed the open nature of Sony's PlayStation 3 platform, and announced Portal 2 for the console, remarking that with Steamworks support it would be the best version for any console. Newell has also criticized the Xbox Live service, referring to it as "a train wreck".
Peter Brian Gabriel (born 13 February 1950) is an English singer, musician, and songwriter who rose to fame as the lead vocalist and flautist of the progressive rock group Genesis. After leaving Genesis, Gabriel went on to a successful solo career. His 1986 album, So, is his most commercially successful, and the album's biggest hit, "Sledgehammer", won a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and the song is the most played music video in the history of the station.
More recently, Gabriel has focused on producing and promoting world music and pioneering digital distribution methods for music. He has also been involved in various humanitarian efforts. Gabriel has won numerous music awards throughout his career, including three Brit Awards—winning Best British Male in 1987, six Grammy Awards, thirteen MTV Video Music Awards, and in 2007 he was honoured as a BMI Icon at the 57th annual BMI London Awards for his “influence on generations of music makers.” Gabriel was also awarded the Polar Music Prize in 2009, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010.

Oh, steam
You know it's steam
It's now been 15 days
Since you've been steamed at me
And I don't want
Your frustration and your madness
pushed and blamed on me
Cause you're crazy for the day
And you're crazy for the night
And what the hell, you've been crazy for your life
And I don't want people thinking
I'm not treating you right
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'm hope that you are doing all your best
Well I'm not so great
But I'm better in other ways
You can't see it but I'm trying anyway
It's the nature of the game
That's what I claim
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
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
You seem to put it all by 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
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh (steam)
More days, more days
I'm steamed in every way
I said no way, no way
I'm steamed in every way
You can blame it on the rain
You can blame it on the heat
It's the nature of it
Steam
It's the nature of it
Steam
When you're saying those things

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
Now there's no way in
Now there's no way out
Did you lift me up
Just to let me down
I lived your secret life
There out on the plane
God I know I'm in too deep
But here I go again
Gone without a trace
Into your boiling dream
Love without a face
I can't see through the steam
Staring in the dark
With dilated eyes
I need more time to understand
Before you take it back
Gone without a trace
Into your boiling dream
Love without a face
I can't see through the steam
Damn' if I'd known better
This riddle has no clues
You stripped me down to pure desire
Nothing I can do
Gone without a trace
Into your boiling dream
Love without a face
I can't see through the steam
Disappear again
Water falls so deep
Gone without a trace

Stand Back!
Stand Back!
What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet
They're on to something, picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat
Give me steam
And how you feel to make it real
Real as anything you've seen
Get a life with this dreamer's dream
You know your culture from your trash
You know your plastic from your cash
When I lose sight of the track
You know the way back
But I know you
You know your stripper from your paint
You know your sinner from your saint
Whenever heaven's doors are shut
You kick them open but
I know you
Give me steam
And how you feel to make it real
Real as any place you've been
Get a life with the dreamer's dream
Stand back!
Stand back!
Can't you see I've lost control I'm getting indiscreet
You're moving in so close 'til I'm picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat
You know your green from your red
You know the quick from the dead
So much better than the rest
You think you've been blessed
But I know you
You know your ladder from your snake
You know the throttle from the brake
You know your straight line from a curve
You've got a lot of nerve
But I know you
Everybody nosedive
Hold your breath, count to five
Backslap, boobytrap,
Cover it up in bubblewrap
Room shake, earthquake
Find a way to stay awake
It's going to blow, it's going to break
This is more than I can take
Oh yeah, I need steam
Feel the steam all around me
Ah you're turning up the heat
When I start to dream aloud
See you move your hands and feet
Won't you step into this cloud of steam
This steam
Help me yeah
Ready to steam out the log jam
Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil
Water's bubbling, it's b..b..b..bubbling
bubbling
like it's coming to a boil
Give me steam, lady
Give me steam around me now
Aah coming alive
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
He'll never love you, the way that I love you
'Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn't make you cry
He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love
(My love, my love)
So dog-gone willin', so kiss him
(I wanna see you kiss him, wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss him goodbye, now
Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
Listen to me now
He's never near you to comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin' baby from your eyes
He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love
(My love, my love)
So dog-gone willin', so kiss him
(I wanna see you kiss him, I wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss him goodbye, na na na na, na na na

Steam, x8
Call me for the pleasure
You can call me for the pain
Call me on the phone
Or on the mental plane
I'll be the freak you need
I contain what U came 4
Come without Karma
To destruct the dancefloor
Rise to the top, never stop
Drop like cream
U bring the body and
I'll bring the steam
Love can love you
Love can heal you
Love can see you
Love can feel you
Love can warm you (oh babe)
Love can calm you
Love will help you
Love won't harm you
Steam, steam
There's no need to be afraid
Steam, steam
Let the lake of love flow
Steam, steam
2 night let's become one soul
Steam, x4
Steam, like a cream dream
Never stop rising
I'll rub you like a wave
Going out while the tides in
Precious bubbilicious
Hard or nice n' easy
Smooth with the move to sooth
Dry or greasy
Here is your harmony
Here is your friend
Kindred spirit of ethereal blend
Meet me on a cloud
Go on a journey, sure
I'll take your body on a mystery tour
The clock upon your wall
Is tickin' slower and slower
Time disappears as I go
lower and lower
I know your final fantasy
But I can't repeat that
Doubting about me
Bet you doubt, I'll defeat that
I'm your spiritual dancer
Your emotion enhancer
Anyway you wanna go
Whether below or on top
I'll love you down
All around in and out and all about
I got your drinkable water
I'm your lover non stop
Steam from a summer raindrop
Risin' off the blacktop
I wipe the sweat from my brow
Steam from my radiator
I'm late and getting later
Should be at your place by now
Bank sign says a hundred and two
But that ain't nothin' when I'm next to you
Chorus:
There's fire in your fingertips
Flames in your touch
Desire in your burning lips
Can't get enough
Today was a scorcher
But I'll go you one better
Tonight when we get together
We're gonna make steam
I dream of you there on my front steps
Sunning in that short dress
Hotter than the Texas heat
Seems I'm never gonna get there
Traffic's going nowhere
But when I feel you next to me
Girl the things you know to do
Just make my heat index go through the roof
Chorus
Girl the things you know to do
Just make my heat index go through the roof
Chorus
Steam
Ha ha ha
We're gonna make steam
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na
Hey Hey Hey
Goodbye
He'll never love you
The way that i love you
Cuz if he did, no no
He wouldn't make you cry
He must be fooling baby
For you my love
My love
So will you kiss him
I wanna see you kiss him
I'm gonna see you kiss him, Goodbye
Na Na Na Na,
Hey Hey Hey
Goodbye
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na
Hey Hey Hey
Goodbye
He's never near you
To comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are
Falling baby from your eyes
He must be fooling baby
Fooling my love
Its alright love
I wanna see you kiss him
I'm gonna see you kiss him, goodbye
Na Na Na Na
