Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

Panic

You like to push the envelope

If you're gonna stick out your neck

Everybody's sure to give you plenty of rope

So who am I to object?

Don't know what it means to fail

You like walking along the edge

Feel like you got a guardian angel

Follows you around the ledge

Everything's a different size

When you're totally adrenalized

It's a very thin line

The room is on fire but it

Won't help to panic

And the floods rise higher but it

Don't help to panic

You lost you're voice but it

Won't help to panic

And you got no choice so it

Don't help to panic

Yea it's a very thin line

It don't take much to lose it

One moment everything is going just fine

Then something takes your head and screws it

You can never lose your cool

Though you've got no course of action

You may just wind up looking like a fool

Or some other social infraction

Everyone expects to be

At a level of anxiety

It's a very thin line

You're in a strange town but it

Won't help to panic

And the power goes down but it

Don't help to panic

The zombies awake but it

Won't help to panic

And the earh is aquake but it

Don't help to panic

Yea, the wings fall off but it

Won't help to panic

And your boner goes soft but it

Don't help to panic

All the liquor's gone but it

Won't help to panic

The bars closed at one but it

Don't help to panic

We all think we'll do what's right

Though we're half as high as Franklin's kite

When it all comes down to fight or flight

It's a very thin line

Yea, the wheels just spin but it

Won't help to panic

And the roof caves in but it

Don't help to panic

And you just made a stinky

Won't help to panic

Then you cut off your pinky

Don't help to panic
