lyrics

I’m leaving LA
I’ve got to get away
Won’t last another day
Get on your knees and pray
Cause it’s a carousel
A living hell
Turn another wheel
Cause nothing here is real tonight, now

Tonight, now
Tonight, now
Panic in the city
A kaleidoscope
You’re my only hope
I swear it on top of the Holy Ghost
It’s a catastrophe
Eyes are on me
Meltdown into nothing
Will you put me in the sea?
And then if this is the end,
Will you still be my friend?
If I fade away, will you remember today?
With the cracked and faded paint
Glittering old saint
When everyone looked great, but they had
Nothing left to say
Tonight, now
Tonight, now
Panic in the city
of night, now
of night, now
Panic in the city of night
Ahh ahh ahh
A kaleidoscope
You’re my only hope
I swear it on top of the Holy Ghost
It’s a catastrophe
Eyes are on me

Meltdown into nothing
Will you put me in the sea?
And then if this is the end
Will you still be my friend?
If I fade away, will you remember today?
A piece of tinsel for a tear
And a happy new year
And panic in the city of night, now
Of night, now
Panic in the city of night
Panic in the city of night
