Beat Happening:I Spy

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
brooks brother suits
and i don't know how to cry
