I am looking for the complete words to the song "Under Pressure" by Queen and
David Bowie.

I have received lyrics of the song before, but none of them have the second
verse, which goes something like this:

"Sitting around with my brains on the floor.
These are the days that never end, but they fall."

It comes immediately after the first time they sing the following part:

"It's the terror of know what this world is about..."

I would appreciate any help whatsoever. Thank you.

Under Pressure (David Bowie And Queen)

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

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

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

That's o-kay
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming `Let me out'
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Doh doh doh bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets, people on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about,
Watching some good friends
Screaming `Let me out'
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
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 coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love one more chance
Why can't we 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 ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

In our last episode, ca...@istar.ca spoke thusly:

>This should be really close if not right.
>Hope it helps
>
>UNDER PRESSURE

<Lyrics clipped>

>Turned away from it all like a blind man


>Sat on a fence but it don't work

I always thought that line was "Sat on a fence like a dumb fuck".

(The song seems even less meaningful without all the deedahdeedah's quoted.)


>Why - why - why

Why indeed?
