david bowie - panic in detroit (outtake from a 1979 recording) lyrics

Loading...

looked a lot like che guevara, drove a diesel van
he kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
the only survivor of the national people’s gang
panic in detroit, i asked for an autograph
he wanted to stay home, i wish someone would phone
panic in detroit

laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom
the police had warned of repercussions, they followed none too soon
a trickle of strangers were all that were left alive
panic in detroit, i asked for an autograph
he wanted to stay home, i wish someone would phone
panic in detroit

putting on some clothes i made my way to school
found my teacher crouching in his overalls
i screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine
and i jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights

{that is correct, now spell detroit
you are incorrect, panic is spelled p a n i c
p a n i c, p a n i c}

having scored a trillion dollars, i made a run back home
found him slumped across the table, a gun and me alone
i ran to the window and looked for a plane or two
panic in detroit, he’d left me an autograph and
let me collect dust, i wish someone would phone,
panic in detroit, panic in detroit, panic in
