Under Pressure (Live Phoenix Festival '97)

[Intro: Gail Ann Dorsey]

Mmm num ba de

Dum bum ba be

Doo buh dum ba beh beh

[Verse 1: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey]

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

[Bridge: Gail Ann Dorsey]

Um ba ba be

Um ba ba be

De day da

Ee day da- that's okay

[Chorus: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey]

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

[Verse 2: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey]

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 bе

Ee da ba ba ba

Um bo bo

Be lap

Peoplе on streets

Ee da de da de

People on streets

Ee da de da de da de da

[Chorus: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey]

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

[Bridge: David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey]

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

[Verse 3: Gail Ann Dorsey]

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 (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
