frank watkinson - f b i lyrics
[verse 1]
well i’ve been in this town about a month or two
and i still haven’t got a clue
as to the whereabouts of the man i’ve been looking for
i’m getting tired of these old dark yards
portals and the crowded bars
and pretending that i’m the man outside of the lawnn
they don’t know, no, they don’t know what i really am
i’m a fbi, i’m a government man
[verse 2]
well i got sent down to this coastal town
where someone said that he’d been sitting, hanging around
i was told to stop him in any which way i could
the word was being spread that he couldn’t be found
in a sleazy joint down the engine town
where they’d k!ll you for a nickel
and no one had a house for good
and it’s hard, oh, it’s hard to be what i am
i’m a fbi, i’m a government man
[verse 3]
so i got pretty friendly with this chinese kid
she said she’d tell me where her lover was hid
she needed to get out, she couldn’t feel safe there anymore
i make my way to her place down in chinatown
her lights were off, her door was broken down
my stomach turned when i found him lying there on the floor
and it’s hard, oh, it’s so hard to be what i am
i’m a fbi, i’m a government man
yes it’s hard, oh, it’s so hard to be what i am
i’m a fbi, i’m a government man
[verse 4]
now i got me a one+way ticket back home
i can’t stay here now ’cause my cover’s been blown
guess i’ll never find the man i’ve been looking for
a bus said, “don’t worry and it’s no disgrace”
but in my dreams, i keep seeing that young girl’s face
and i really don’t think i could do this anymore
oh, no more, no more to be what i am
i’m no fbi, i’m no government man
oh, no more, no more to be what i am
i’m no fbi, i’m no government man
i’m no fbi, i’m no government man
