The Pressure of Life (Takes the Weight Off the Body)
Dreaming of living without problems
The good times are easily forgotten
You're eating but your body just rejects it
Loneliness comes when you least expect it
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
Faster, you're talking in slow motion
Here comes another piece of tension
You sit there blinking back the tears
Hoping, the months turn into years
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
Still dreaming of living without problems
Is that your idea of heaven
You're eating but your body just rejects it
Slow down, the death rate's one in seven
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
The pressure of life takes weight off the body
The pressure of life
The pressure of life
The pressure of life
The pressure of life
