Nur Ein V - Time to Panic

Post by nyjm »

noah mclaughlin

the first time to panic: a delirious missive from Dad
your brother is dying; his organs are failing; he's lying in state
i have done everything; you have done nothing
there's no one to blame - i blame you
counting on you to step in
counting on you to step in

the next time to panic: the telephone ringing, it's Mom
you brother is fine; the nurses are caring; he's being treated quite well
i've done enough; your father is scamming
there's no one to blame - but blame me
counting on you to step in
counting on you to step in

1, 2, 3: is it time to let go?
1, 2, 3: is it time?

the third time to panic: a brotherly phone call, Hello
i'm doing much better, have plans for the future; it's all coming together at last
they've done so much to me but i make my destiny
there's no need to fear - i'm afraid
counting on you to step in
counting on you to step in

the fourth time to panic: a flurry of phone calls & prayers
coma, confusion, new doctors, plane tickets, they board
i'm doing so much, why am i all the stitching?
my name is a password; my heart is a threshold
they're counting on me to step in
they're counting on me to step in

1, 2, 3: is it time to let go?
1, 2, 3: is it time?

it was 1788 and louis xvi was feeling great,
relaxing, probably eating grapes
and he turned to his mate jean-frederic and he said
"we don't have enough money, need to tax the proletariat"

then jaques necker burst in and was like 'wait wait,
we can't tax the poor they got nothing to take'
we should tax the church and the nobles
they can spare a little dosh from their big estates'

bam! he was gone replaced the next day by
charles alexandre de colone.
but he was a useless son of a gun
and soon they were worse off than when they had begun

--chorus--

and it was like
9 8 7 6
time to panic,
time to pick up sticks
5 4 3 2
we'll storm the bastille
and there's nothing you can do
1
and it was done
and it was done

--end chorus--

it was 1789 and louis xvi's control was slip-sliding,
his confidence was in decline
so he called the estates general to appease the french people
and he thought it would be just in time

but the people got together on a tennis court,
they made a constitution, even the police gave their support

with the army arriving
the people outcrying
the tension was rising
and it wasn't suprising

it all kicked off and the bastille fell down,
the governor's head was on a spike and the mayor gunned down

so louis backed down and shook hands,
long live the king and also long live the land
long live the king and also long live the land

--chorus--

fast track a bit to 1793 now
in between is boring so i'll spare you the details

louis had run off to the country, was brought back the next day
whilst the people tried to deal with constitutional monarchy

but louis still had power and wouldn't let go
and the king wanted war so to war they did go
but prussia said 'hey we want louis on the throne'
and they people were like 'no, he's been overthrown'

january 17th the vote was cast
4 days later would be louis' last
on that day many were crying,
others were cheering,
and louis was dying

it must be a quick way to go
as they slice through your throat
and your head rolls off alone

some people said they saw him speak
'time to panic, so get to your feet'

--chorus--

Jon Eric - Time to Panic

She gave us plenty of warning signs,
Yeah we had plenty of notice
But we refused to acknowledge it until she did exactly what she told us
Well every time I think about her, I get the urge to scream
So I count 1, 2, 10
Time to panic again

She told us we should communicate
We tried to make our points clearer
But there were ways we could have done it more efficiently than scrawling it on the mirror
Still I realize I didn't mean to be so mean
Count it: 1, 2, 10
Time to panic again

Close your eyes and take a couple more deep breaths
Doesn't that make you feel so glad?
I know it's tempting to try to cut it short
But I feel like you were so much happier before you got so mad

The worst was when she gave up on us
The closet full of bare hangers
We heard the engine rev and then she drove away and it was just me and my anger
The only way I can cope is by pretending it's a dream
Counting 1, 2, 10
Time to panic again
1, 2, 10 - Time to panic
1, 2, 10 - Time to panic again

Time To Panic
By Billy's Little Trip

1, 2, 3, 4

My heart is pounding right out of my chest
Got a cotton mouth and my palms are wet
I can't fight this feeling anymore
I gotta get out of here, I really need my space
Gonna go out lookin' for my happy place
I can't fight this feeling anymore

I can control it when I start to panic
I can control it because I've got strong will

Then I saw you there laying in the sand
With your Oakley shades and a book in your hand
I can't fight this feeling anymore
You make me nervous in the very best way
Your smile just makes me want to play
I can't fight this feeling anymore

I can control it when I start to panic
I can control it because I've got strong will

You pull me in with a slow motion spin
Then we fool around until we fall to the ground
Your sweat beads up on your skin
Just like diamonds, clear and cool
I want to lick up all your honey dew

My heart is pounding right out of my chest
Got a cotton mouth and my palms are wet
I can't fight this feeling anymore
Then I saw you there with your Oakley shades
You make me nervous in the very best way
I can't fight this feeling anymore

I can control it when I start to panic
I can control it because I've got strong will
I can control it when I start to panic
I can control it because I've got strong will

Time To Panic
by Sid Denison and the Harpooners

In the morning
You were nowhere to be sighted
Just an empty bed beside me and a note there on the fridge
Saying “Darling, I'll be working late this evening
Get some dinner in the city
I’ll see you when I get home”

Working late? She never works late! What’s she doing? What’s she up to? Who’s she seeing? I don’t like the sound of this, not one little bit….

1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
My baby she don’t love me anymore

Where’s my wallet?
I had it right here beside me
With my car keys and my credit cards and $100 stash
I bet she took it!
And now she’s out with her new boyfriend
Having fun and laughing at me and spending all my cash

Oh man, they’re staling my money. Stealing my identity. They’ve got my credit cards…I bet they’re on-line right now, ordering viagra and sex toys from some crack-whore in the Ukraine...I just know it…

1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
My baby she don’t love me anymore

Now I know sometimes I get delusional
And hallucinations cloud my sight
But paranoia to me means being prepared
One day my delusions might be right

1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 hyperventilate
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
Calm down, calm down
Hyperventilate

1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
My baby she don’t love me anymore
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
1 2 3 4 time to panic!
My baby she don’t love me any
Baby she don’t love me any
My baby she don’t love me anymore

Time To Panic by Johnny Cashpoint

2 1 1 2 2 0 1 2

Girl, you went to the flicks, saw ‘2012’
Now you’re in a right panic, think we’re all going to Hell
You’re sure the apocalypse is right around the corner
Say you’ll soon be dying just like the Mayans have warned ya

Oh baby don’t you panic about the future of the planet , 'cos there’s still
Plenty of time to panic before we die, before we die ...

Let me put you at your ease, There’s no need to be fretful
If you want conspiracies, well, here’s an internet-full
Made up by crazy-ass hippies just like Roland Emmerich -
Not just a bad director, but also an enormous dick

Oh baby don’t you panic about the future of the planet , 'cos there’s still
Plenty of time to panic before we die, before we die ...

Even if I’m wrong, come that 21st of December, as we cease to be,
There will be nobody left alive to remember my stupidity.

Time To Panic
The Real Sign


Time for a reality check
Things are changing
And there’s no going back
Youth is fading
All that I lack
Will be what I once was
So many years that I’ll put in
And I’m scared I’m fading
The time is coming
but its’ not here yet
I still got some time to panic


One day you’ll look at me
too old and used
Three times too experienced
For you


I can’t help it biting
At the back of my mind
Paranoia at its best
know I’m lookin
good right now
But it won’t last
What if you don’t want to look at me
Twenty years from now
The time is coming
but its’ not here yet
I still got some time to panic

At 20 I was gorgeous
At 30 it started to slip
At 40 it’ll really start to show
At 50 I’ll lose my grip
At 60 it’ll be over

Time to Panic - Therman

one nine eight nine
born twice twice shy
one nine nine five
nine to five is part of life

now
i'm feeling down yeah

I feel there's a problem making people take a side
nobody's watching you, even though you try

i wouldn't say that it's time to panic but it is
cause anarchists bow down to other anarchists
and wealth and greed rule by controlling my mind
i am resigned to be deaf, dumb and blind

(guitars)

two oh oh one
all progress has come undone
two oh one oh
we protest but nothing's wrong

now
i'm feeling down yeah

I feel there's a problem making people take a side
nobody's watching you, even though you try

i wouldn't say that it's time to panic but it is
cause anarchists bow down to other anarchists
and wealth and greed rule by controlling my mind
i am resigned to be deaf, dumb and blind

(guitars)

I feel there's a problem making people take a side
republicans and democrats making people cry
one in a million men matter when we reach our end
so nobody's watching you, even though you try

i wouldn't say that it's time to panic but it is
cause life can't be lived just by the laws of cannabis
and wealthy suburbans are cruel to be kind
and life is not mine but I'll give up, it's fine

i wouldn't say that it's time to panic but it is
cause anarchists bow down to other anarchists
and wealth and greed rule by controlling my mind
i am resigned to be deaf, dumb and blind

Time To Panic
(Alt Title - There's A Bug In My Car And It's Going To Kill Me)

Are you in my head or are you real
What's the deal?
Too many forms of what you are
And what you are is the nightmare
Of my life!

You should go and leave me alone now
If I count to five won't you disappear
1,2,3,4
Fi-yi-yi-yive
You're still here!

It's time to panic
Should I run?
Should I hide? Should I stay inside?
It's time to panic
Are you fast?
Are you slow? Doesn't anybody know?

Won't you tell me what you want
Or why you're even here?
My heart explodes full of fear
Can't run away
I feel you breathing down my neck

You should go and leave me alone now
If I count to five won't you disappear
1,2,3,4
Fi-yi-yi-yive
You're still here!

It's time to panic
Should I run?
Should I hide? Should I stay inside?
It's time to panic
Are you fast?
Are you slow? Doesn't anybody know?

A pilot with both engines gone
A scuba diver's hose gets torn
A truck goes downhill with no brake
(five!) A president who's lost the poll
(four!) A starving man with empty bowl
(three!) And you alone have had as much as you (two!) can (one!) take (time to panic!)

Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic
Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic

A bomb with wires that you can't clip
A stove left on while on a trip
A revolution where they must eat cake
(five!) The car, the wife, the kids are gone
(four!) There's no time left to write this song
(three!) And we don't have much more for them to take (two!), take (one!), take (time to panic!)

Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic
Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic
[sounds of people panicking]

Time to Panic
by Naked Philosophy


It's enriched - why we must burn it to the ground
Bombs away - now it's lost and never found
It's time to panic
Time to panic

Only one - that will struggle to survive
That is why - we must stay alive
It's time to panic
Time to panic

Everybody join the club!
Of course there's America, Britain, and France
China and the Russians, too.
North Korea and the former Soviet states,
And those are relatively new.
India and Pakistan we know about,
Israel we haven't figured out.
But let's add Iran and Syria, as well,
And start the countdown straight to hell -

5-4-3-2-1 - GO!

Now it's time to panic
The rockets are on their way
We'll all get to see
The dawn of a brand new day

Time to Panic
Milo Dunderville

We got what five six seven hours before
My cousin Charlie’s gonna sing
Before your sister’s kid, Sebastian
Comes in marching with our rings
Before that lady on the organ
Plays Trumpet Voluntaire
And maybe then your friend Miranda
Can stop messing with your hair
And apropos
I need to know

Is it time to panic yet
‘Cause I want to get this right
And honey I will do whatever
I can do to reach tonight
Should I start pacing in the hallway
Get some sweat upon my brow
Or I could fiddle with my collar
If it’s time to panic now


We got what five six seven hours until
You come walking down that aisle
Until you look me in the eye
And devastate me with your smile
Until that preacher’s gonna ask us
If we promise to be true
And we won’t hesitate to answer
That we’re pretty sure we do
So apropos
I need to know

Chorus

It seems like everyone says
The nerves will getcha
But if you’re willing to wed
You bet I’ll letcha

(No) Time to Panic

CHORUS (Am-G-Em-F x2)
remain calm, this is no time to panic
take a deep breath, count backwards if you need it
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
now isn't that better?

VERSE 1 (Am-C-G-Em x3, F)
I couldn't wait, I couldn't wait,
I couldn't wait for my yesterdays
to get resolved, to be absolved,
forget it all, this is the hard way

learning to walk, before I baulk,
at your ideas, I'm no seer....

PRE-CHORUS (Am-G, Am-F, Am-G-F-F)

CHORUS

VERSE 2
how do you face it, you can't erase it,
in a sober hole and you wanna go?
pull out a fake id, hiding who is me,
I don't wanna be the one to go!

is this killing me, or just filling me,
like a landfill that overflows....

PRE-CHORUS (Am-G, Am-F, Am-G-F-F)

CHORUS

BRIDGE (EmOpen-G-Asus x2, F)

CHORUS (repeat first two lines the #s lines then)
it's not working anymore...

"Time to Panic" by Berkeley Social Scene

Open your eyes
Wipe the sleep away
Dreamt through the alarm
You were flying again
There is no time
To brush your teeth or hair
Your shirt needs pressing
You hope no one stares

You brace yourself, splash cold water on your face
In your head your boss's voice is screaming that you're late

Chorus
Your mistakes are no surprise
Pushed to the edge, now it's time to panic
Take a breath and count to ten

You missed the train
Things keep getting worse
It starts to rain
Now you're feeling cursed
You brought this on
Yourself a thousand times
What will it take
To make you stop this cycle of self crime?

Running through the streets, the city swallows you
Don't know if you can keep this pace, but somehow you get through

Chorus

And it's 6, 5, 4 more blocks to the office
3, 2, 1 more minutes and you're late
And it's 6, 5, 4 more blocks to the office
3, 2, 1 more minutes and you're late

Chorus

Hi it's me.

These are my 'Time to Panic' Lyrics.

**
Could there be possibilities
Seeded from dualities
sick needs / from lines I read between

You're not convinced, I see
lick fingers one two three four five
quick tricky fight to stay alive / spin destiny real tight

CH
Wrath and sloth and pride and greed
and lust and envy gluttony
Up down, in out / and sideways, manic
tied me up and there's no time
To panic

Baptisms in infamy
won't make this broken mirror lucky
so lead me up the stairway
to your eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen
i fall dangerously and need
your deadly sins all over me
be the one who's down below
...the angel of the 66th row

-add three, I don't care
make it make-believe I'm still there
practice underwater breathing
wear your heart upon my sleeve...

CH/BR
crunch time, time to cut the wire
chaos suicide it's blastoff time
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
ground zero blast off time
no panic time the games not mine
five four three two one and now
ground zero
