Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone.
Panic in Detroit.

Putting on some clothes I made my way to school

verse 3
Having scored a million dollars, made a run back home.
Found him slumped across a 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.
