Lyrics

[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
Police had warned of repercussions
They followed none too soon
A trickle of strangers
Were all that were left alive
[Chorus]
Panic in Detroit
I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home
I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit
[Verse 3]
Having scored a trillion dollars
I made my way 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
[Refrain]
Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit
