Automatic Panic

Where you go, I follow

But I don't know what for

It's the same again tomorrow

As I'm strung along for more

Automatic panic, sets in

When I hear you close the door

It might be superstitious

But I'm thinking this is real

That you've been too suspicious

Of how I really feel

Automatic panic

The embarrassment of what you might reveal

Racing thoughts take control

Tunnel vision, dig a hole

I'll bear my teeth and fake a smile

I know it's irrational

She's laughing, laughing now

Trip and stumble, fall far down

On my knees I pitch and heave

I'd rather die, I'll take the grief

The clock is ticking, out of time,

Take ambivalence as a sign

If you spiral, twist and fold

say goodbye to self control

12 o'clock, it's midnight

My head's all full of doubt

When you passed beneath the streetlights

With a friend from out of town
