Streets are lined with people
People who want to move move move
How can 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 blowing
*[Chorus x2:]*
Uptight downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh I know the temperature is rising, is rising
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 blowing
*[Chorus x2:]*
Uptight downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh I know the temperature is rising, is rising
(Uptight) *[x8]*
Uptight downtown *[x4]*
Why are we fighting
I don't understand
Oh but the temperature's rising tonight
