Lyrics

[Intro: Freddie Mercury]
Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba beh beh

[Verse 1: David Bowie]
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for

[Freddie Mercury]
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two

[David Bowie]
Puts people on streets

[Bridge: Freddie Mercury]
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's okay

[Chorus: David Bowie]
It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
[Both]
'Let me out'

[Freddie Mercury]
Pray tomorrow gets me higher

[David Bowie]
Pressure on people people on streets

[Verse 2: 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

[David Bowie]
People on streets

[Freddie Mercury]
Ee da de da de

[David Bowie]
People on streets

[Freddie Mercury]
Ee da de da de da de da

[Chorus: David Bowie]
It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
[Chorus: Both]
'Let me out'

[Freddie Mercury]
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high

[David Bowie]
Pressure on people people on streets

[Bridge: Both]
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work

[David Bowie]
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn

[Freddie Mercury]
Why - why - why?

[David Bowie]
Love, love, love, love, love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking

[Verse 3: 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?

[Outro: David Bowie]
Because love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the
[Freddie Mercury]
People on streets
[David Bowie]
edge of the night
And love
[Freddie Mercury]
People on streets
[David Bowie]
dares you to change our way of
[Both]
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
[David Bowie]
This is ourselves
[Both]
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
