Song: Panic In Detroit
Album: Aladdin Sane

Lyrics

Ah oooh
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
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit (oh oh oh aahh, oh oh oh aahh)

He 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 (oh oh oh aahh, ah ah ah aahh)

Putting on some clothes I made my way to school
(oh oh oh)
And I found my teacher crouching in his overalls
I screamed and ran to smash my favourite slot machine (oh oh oh)
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights

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
Panic in Detroit. He'd left me an autograph
"Let me collect dust." I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit
Aoo

    This sounds just like a conversation that me and one of my bff's would have. haha.

  • can you see the dislike bar? Me neither.

  • One of David's finest! Damn, what a genius. Can't forget, RIP Mick.

  • the best and most enduring song on this album - probably bowie's worst album of the 70s, but still considerably better than anyone else's best - except dylan or reed.

  • Bowie is better than god.

  • ....and jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights...

  • They should play this LOUD at the polls tomorrow in Detroit when they vote for their candidates!

  • EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

  • Friend: If he's not still popular today then that means he's not very good

    Me: He is still popular and you don't even have to be talented to be rich and famous

    Friend: That doesn't even make sense

    Me: Explain Justin Beiber?

    Friend:..........point taken
