panic in detroit (live 1976) - david bowie lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
he looked a lot like che guevara
drove a diesel van
kept his gun in quiet seclusion
such a humble man
the only survivor of the national people’s gang

[chorus]
panic in detroit
i asked for an autograph
he wanted to stay home
i wish someone would phone
panic in detroit

[verse 2]
he laughed at accidental sirens
that broke the evening gloom
the police had warned of repercussions
they followed none too soon
a trickle of strangеrs were all that werе left alive

[chorus]
panic in detroit
i asked for an autograph
he wanted to stay home
i wish someone would phone
panic in detroit
[bridge]
putting on some clothes, i made my way to school
and i found my teacher crouching in his overalls
i screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine
and jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights

{verse 3}
having scored a trillion dollars
made a run back home
found him slumped across the table
a gun and me alone
i ran to the window, looked for a plane or two

[chorus]
panic in detroit
he’d left me an autograph
“let me collect dust.”
i wish someone would phone
panic in detroit
panic in detroit

{instrumental outro}
