Under Pressure Lyrics By Queen David Bowie

    freddie mercury
    mmm num ba de
    dum bum ba be
    doo buh dum ba beh beh

    david bowie freddie mercury
    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

    freddie mercury
    um ba ba be
    um ba ba be
    de day da
    ee day da that’s okay

    david bowie freddie mercury
    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

    david bowie freddie mercury
    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

    david bowie freddie mercury
    it’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
    watching some good friends screaming ‘let me out’
    pray tomorrow gets me higher high
    pressure on people people on streets

    david bowie freddie mercury
    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

    freddie mercury
    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

    david bowie
    because love’s such an oldfashioned word
    and love dares you to care for
    the people on the people on streets edge of the night
    and love people on streets 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
    under pressure
    pressure
