Lyrics

I grabbed my hat and I went walking in the rainy night
My world turned upside down
I heard the roaring of the engines of a DC3
I'm Casablanca bound
The stewardess was standing staring in a fashion
that could only take my breath away
The pilot's voice came on the intercom and
told me he was workin' for the CIA
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
And he's lost in a dangerous world
So keep on runnin' ,runnin' in the black of night
Secret Agent
Just keep on runnin', runnin' at the speed of light
Secret Agent
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
(break)
And three days later I was woken by a lady in black
She took my photograph
And in the safety of the shadows,
threw her cameras down the elevator shaft
She ran and stumbled in the darkness of the empty streets
My job had just begun
And without warning I was shaken by a blinding light
Didn't see the gun , ooh....
And he's lost in a dangerous world
So keep on runnin' , runnin' in the black of night
Secret Agent
Just keep on runnin',runnin' like the speed of light
Secret Agent
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
(break)
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh Secret Agent
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh Secret Agent Agent
(break)
LOOK OUT!
So keep on runnin' , runnin' till you get away
You're a Secret Agent
So keep on runnin' , runnin' in the black of night
You're a Secret Agent
So keep on runnin' , runnin' in the black of night
You're a Secret Agent
Just keep on runnin', runnin' like the speed of light
'Cause you're a Secret Agent
Just keep on runnin' , runnin' till the break of day
'Cause you're a Secret Agent
Just keep on runnin' , runnin' till you get away
'Cause you're a Secret Agent
