ESPIONAGE

They sent a telegram all the way from Pompeii

They said we need you here, why can’t you get away

There was a chain of command here, when I landed here

That was my first mistake

There’s a wind in the trees callin’ out my name

And when the moon’s just right, you can swear you’re fallin’

Somewhere there’s a game for me, they’ve got me walkin’ this line

Chorus

No one knows your name, baby

They don’t seem to care, I’ve got this code that gets me anywhere

Always on the prowl

That is my stock in trade, espionage – god help me

Is more than meets the eye

They want my hands, they want my number

I know somebody’s gonna squeal

I will not let them take my number

I’m trained for torture by degree

I’m on the midnight flight, safe and warm for the day

This life is black and white and my demons won’t go away

Somewhere I got hypnotized, they’ve got me walkin’ this line

Chorus

Gary Ogan
