Eh, day, dah

What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Day, day, day
Day, day, day, day, day Audience: OK Chipping around - kick my brains around the floor

Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why?
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
Under pressure

Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
