Be Bop Deluxe - Panic in the World lyrics

Nelson In the cities there is talk of rain and fire It was on the air today, it almost filled me with desire All our skies are gray, they say the dreamers line the streets Looking out from hollow houses, rivers running at their feet. Oh oh, oh oh, there's panic in the world Oh oh, oh oh, there's panic in the world. My love and I, we escaped, we left no trace For they had raped both body and soul The taste was much too hard to swallow We ran naked through the cold Above our heads, in fiery red The clouds they bled like open wounds across the sky The wings of many nations falling, burning, turning Trying oh so hard to die. Oh oh, oh oh, there's panic in the world Oh oh, oh oh, there's panic in the world. We'll find an island, we'll burn the maps We'll lock our hearts and throw the keys into the sea Let's be survivors, they'll never find us It's all behind us, I know a place they've never been In new horizons, in golden swarms, in comes tomorrow It's thunder storms over the hill The future fall, beyond these walls Destiny calling, like the dawn a sweeter thrill. Oh oh, oh oh, there's panic in the world Oh oh, oh oh, there's panic in the world Oh oh, oh oh, there's panic in the world. There's panic in the world There's panic in the world There's panic in the world There's panic in the world There's panic in the world.
