Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The streets are lined with people
People who want to move, move, move
How could all these people
Have so much to prove, prove, prove?
Oh, I can only ask myself
Oh, where are you all going?
And won't you take me with you to
Where all the sirens are blaring?
[Verse 2]
Uptight downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And now I know the temperature is risin'
Is risin'
Uptight downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And now I know the temperature is risin'
Is risin'
[Verse 3]
Streets are lined with people
With nothing left to lose, lose, lose
When did all these people
Decide to change their shoes, shoes, shoes?
Oh, I can only ask myself
Oh, where are you all going?
And won't you take me with you to
Where all the sirens are blaring?
[Verse 4]
Uptight downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And now I know the temperature is risin'
Is risin'
Uptight downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And now I know the temperature is risin'
Is risin'
[Verse 5]
Uptight downtown
Uptight downtown
Uptight downtown
Uptight downtown
[Verse 6]
Why are we fightin'?
I don't understand
Oh, but the temperature's risin' tonight
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And now I know the temperature is risin'
Is risin'
