David Bowie 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
it's the terror of knowing
  what t
his world is about
   
watching some good friends
    screaming `let me out'
    pray tomorrow---gets me higher
    pressure on people---people on streets
 chippin' around---kick my brains around the floor
    these are the days 
it never rains but it pours
     people on streets---people on streets
  
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
  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
     insanity laughs un
der pressure we're cracking
   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
  'cause love's such an old fashioned word
    an
d love dares you to care for
       the people on the edge of the night
   and love 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.
