"Under Pressure" lyrics - LESLIE ODOM JR.

Days are getting cold
Darkness lies and waits by your dreams
While this spotlight shines down on me
But you're cornered and can't back away

[Pre-Chorus:]
Beaten so many things, did so many
Reaching for it all when you can't have any

[Chorus:]
Under pressure
Under pressure
This is far too much to take
I'm afraid I might break under pressure
Under pressure

You ask me who I think I am
I plead the fifth, I won't take a stand
Judgment falls, but is it heard?
Jury's on, justice won't be served

[Pre-Chorus:]
Beaten so many things, can't be happy
Reeling from it all, can get you buried

[Chorus:]
Under pressure
Under pressure
This is far too much to take
I'm afraid I might break under pressure
Under pressure

These are the paintings great painters paint
The crimes of the innocent, the sins of the saints

[Chorus:]
Under pressure
Under pressure
This is far too much to take
I'm afraid I might break under pressure
Under pressure
Mm-uhh
