Queen, David Bowie – Under Pressure: Lyrics and Music Video

Under Pressure Lyrics

Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you
No man ask for

Under pressure
That burns 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 okay

It’s the terror of knowing
What this 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 it 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 this 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

’cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And loves dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
