Under Pressure Lyrics
Pressure pushing down on me
pressing down on you
no man ask you
Under pressure
that brings a building down
splits a family in two
puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's ok
It's the terror of knowing
what the world is about
watching some good friends
screaming
"Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Day day de mm hm
da da da ba ba
okay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
these are the days it never rains but ir pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets
ee da de da de
people on streets
ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing
what the world is about
watching some good friends
screaming
"Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
higher
high
Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
but it's so slashed and torn
Why why why
Love love love love love
insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
why can't we give love that one more chance
why can't we give love give love give love give love
give love give love give love give love give love
Because love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
the people on the (People on streets) edge of the night
and loves (people on streets) dares you to change our way
of
caring about ourselves
this is our last chance
this is our last chance
this is ourselves
under pressure
under pressure
pressure
