Spy World lyrics

Song information

Artist: Stan Ridgway
Album: Call Of The West

Lyrics

Spoken
Hello, hello, this is monkeywrench, come in
Calling money hutch headquarters
Tell smoky grayhead the « bus stopper » is a guy
Tell « mister magden » to check on the « chocolate (shotput?). »
And I thought this was a glamorous job

Well, there's that man who's got everything that he needs
And when the world is falling in he'll never bleed
He goes by jones in istanbul and smith in peru
His job's never through

It's time to start this little game of cat and mouse
And try to keep one step ahead––there's strangers in the house
His watch is really a radio, his gun a pen
He knows that it's all gone, no mom, nobody wins

Chorus:
Spy world x16

Spoken
Shaken, not stirred, okay?
I'm really tired of wearing these sunglasses
