Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
The streets are lined with people
People who want to move, move, move
How can all these people
Have so much to prove, prove, prove?

[Pre-Chorus:]
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:]
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
[x2]

[Verse 2:]
The street's alive with people
With nothing left to lose, lose, lose
When did all these people
Decide to change their shoes, shoes, shoes?

[Pre-Chorus:]
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:]
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
[x2]

[Bridge:]
Uptight Downtown
[x4]

[Outro:]
Why are we fighting? I don't understand
Oh, but the temperature's rising tonight
(Why are we fighting? I don't understand)
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
