Trained to meet the criminal elite, I seek out wherever evil resides.

I spy...
VERSE 2
I'm at home on the streets of Rome, or just hangin' round old Shanghai
Danger is my logo, espianage au-go-go, I'm just diggin' this American crime.
CHORUS (no lyrics, just solo riff)
VERSE 3
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.
CHORUS (no lyrics, just solo riff)
VERSE 4
Got a bullet-proof car and a secret scar, and a ring with x-ray eyes
I wear Spanish boots and Brooks Bros. suits, and I don't know how to cry.
