[Verse 1]
Hello, Peter Panic, you've landed on our planet
What a strange thing you are, with little pissy eyes
You got in the television, turned us all old and wizened
Then disappeared to a distant star and we remember you as

[Chorus]
Peter Panic, who lives forever
Peter Panic, as light as a feather
And he says it's okay when you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar
Peter Panic, who lives forever
Peter Panic, as light as a feather
And he says it's okay when you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar again

[Verse 2]
He left his secret with the chemist, who made it taste very pleasant
Now everyone has gone to his star, happy to be with

[Chorus]
Peter Panic, he lives forever
Peter Panic, as light as a feather
And he says it's okay when you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar
Peter Panic, who lives forever
Peter Panic, as light as a feather
And he says it's okay when you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar again

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Peter Panic, he lives forever
Peter Panic, as light as a feather
And he says it's okay when you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar
Peter Panic, who lives forever
Peter Panic, as light as a feather
And he says it's okay when you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar again

[Outro]
And he says it's okay when you blow him away
He'll be back for you some other day
When you're running out of sugar again

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
