I grabbed my hat and I went walkin' in the rainly night
My world turned upside down
I heard the roaring of the engines of a DC three
I'm Casablanca bound
The stewardess was standin' starin' in a fashion
That could only take my breath away
The pilot's voice came on the intercom and told me
He was working for the CIA
Oh
and he's lost
In a dangerous world
Just keep on runnin'

Runnin' in the black of night -
Secret agent
Just keep on runnin'
Runnin' in the speed of light -
Secret agent - oh
And three days later I was broken by a lady in black
She took my photograph
And in the safety of the shadows threw her cam'ra down the elevator shaft
She went and stumbled in the darkness of the empty streets
My job had just begun
And when I followed
I was shaken by a blinding light
didn't see the gun
Oh
and he's lost in a dangerous world
Just keep on runnin'
runnin' in the black of night
'Cause you're the secret agent
Just keep on runnin'
runnin' like the speed of light -
'Cause you're the secret agent
Just keep on runnin'
runnin' til you get away - you're the secret agent
They keep on comin'
comin' at the break of day - you're the secret agent
Just keep on runnin'
runnin' at the black of night - you're the secret agent
Just keep on runnin'
runnin' like the speed of night - you're the secret agent
