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
