Beat Happening - I Spy

Beat Happening's "I Spy" from their 1985 self-titled debut.

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 'em 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 Brothers suits
And I don't know how to cry
