Beat Happening I Spy Lyrics

I'm more important in the USA
than a spy for the FBI
I'm trained to meet
the criminal elite
and I seek out wherever evil resides

I spy

I'm at home in the streets of rome
or just hanging round old shanghai
danger is my logo
espionage a go-go
I'm just diggin' this american crime

Two deadly agents of a wicked persuasion tried to send me on a permanent vacation
I gave them the slip
cause I'm totally hip
to that modern counter espionage

I spy

I got a bulletproof car and a secret star
and a ring with X-ray eyes
I wear spanish boots
crooks brother suits
and I don't know how to cry.
