Lyric discussion by laurelinwyntre

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_(song)

Though the title is more likely inspired by the film Panic In The Streets which "tells the story of Clinton Reed, an officer of the U.S. Public Health Service (played by Richard Widmark ) and a police captain ( Paul Douglas ) who have only a day or two in which to prevent an epidemic of pneumonic plague after Reed determines a waterfront homicide victim is an index case"
