He looked a lo

an autograph
He wanted to s
tay home I wis
h someone woul
d phone
Panic in Detro

[Verse]
He laughed at
accidental sir
ens that broke
the evening g

The police had
warned of rep
ercussions the

e too soon
A trickle of s
trangers were
all that were
left alive
Panic in Detro

an autograph
He wanted to s

Panic in Detro

[Chorus]
Putting on som

And I found my
teacher crouc

oh ooh
And jumped the
silent cars t
hat slept at t
raffic lights
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Having scored
a trillion dol

Found him slum

Panic in Detro

Panic in Detro
