Lyrics
What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name, but I can't be certain
And in me, he starts to confide
That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray
Panic is on the way
My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead, and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a God, would he give another chancer?
An hour to sing for his soul
'Cause my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray
Panic is on the way
'Cause my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
Then you get on your knees and you better pray
'Cause my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray
Panic is on the way
Panic is on the way

Notes
"Gas Panic!" is a standout track from Oasis's fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000). Written by Noel Gallagher, the song captures a darker and more introspective side of Oasis. Its haunting lyrics and eerie melodies reflect a time of personal struggle for Noel, dealing with anxiety and the pressures of fame. The powerful imagery in the lyrics, combined with the instrumental build-up, create an intense and almost psychedelic experience. "Gas Panic!" is often praised for its experimental approach and emotional depth, marking it as one of the most memorable tracks on the album.
