Under Pressure Songtext
von Queen & David Bowie

Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressin′ down on you, no man asks for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets

(That's okay)
That′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
(Okay)

Chipping around, kick my brains on the floor
These are the days, it never rains, but it pours

People on streets
People on streets

That's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!"
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 comin′ 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 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
