Lyrics

0:27Pressure pushing down on me
0:31Pushing down on you - no man ask for
0:35Under pressure
0:37That burns a building down
0:39Splits a family in two
0:41Puts some people on the streets
0:52It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
0:56Watching some good friends scream 'Let me out '
1:00Pray tomorrow takes me higher
1:04Pressure on the people
1:06People on the streets
1:18Chippin' around
1:19Kick my brains 'round the floor
1:21These are the days
1:23It never rains but it pours
1:33People on the streets
1:37People on the streets
1:41It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
1:45Watching some good friends scream 'Let me out '
1:49Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher higher
1:59Turned away from it all like a blind man
2:04Sat on a fence but it don't work
2:08Keep coming up with love
2:10But it's so slashed and torn
2:26Insanity laughs under pressure - we're cracking
2:30Can't we give ourselves one more chance
2:34Why can't we give love that one more chance
2:38Why can't we give love give love give love
2:42Give love give love give love give love give love
2:46'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
2:52And love dares you to care
2:55For the people on the edge of the night
3:01And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves
3:11This is our last dance
3:14This is our last dance
3:19This is ourselves un
Pressure pushing down on me
Pushing down on you - no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts some people on the streets
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream  'Let me out '
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on the people
People on the streets
Chippin' around
Kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
People on the streets
People on the streets
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream  'Let me out '
Pray tomorrow takes me higher  higher  higher
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
Insanity laughs under 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  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 un
