**Agent Mega:**

How did I get back here?

I swore I'd never return

Four long years since it happened, Mega.

I guess you'll never learn.

But maybe this time will be different

It might be what I need.

Who knew I could feel again?

Who knew I could forget my...

**Agent Mega, spoken:**

my...

No!

**Agent Mega, sung:**

Memories always seem to be

Always haunting me

Until I can't think

Then I try, try to deny

I let him die!

Then I pour myself a drink

Then another, then another drink

Until it does the trick

'Til I forget

What's in my head

What I regret

Then I have another drink

Then another, then another drink

Until I get my fix.

'Til the morning light

When the sun is bright

And nothing's right

I lost the fight

And I remember...

I once was a spy, but I can't be a spy again

I once was a spy, how could I be a spy again?

I once was a spy, but what if...

I was a spy again?

If a spy is a spy and I once was a spy

Then I can be a spy again.

Thought I could say goodbye, but I can't lie

I wanna be a spy again.

Wanna be a spy again

Gonna try again

Hop in a jet and fly again!

Grow a spine again

Make it mine again

Do my best not to cry again...

And I know just where I'm goin'

Me and my partner Owen!

**Agent Mega, spoken:**

No...

**Agent Mega, sung:**
I do what I can, try to make a plan, to be a better man

But nothing seems to stick

In the mirror, nothing's clear

What is this beard?

Oh, where's my drink?

And another, and another

No, I'm gonna be sick

Owen please, if you could see

What's become of me

What would you think?

**(instrumental break)**

**Agent Mega, sung:**
If a spy is a spy

And I once was a spy

I think you'd want me to spy again

You'd put this drink down

Turn my life around...

I wanna be a spy again

Spy again, it's who I am

Doesn't even matter if I killed my best friend!

Spy again, wear a suit and tie again

Drink martinis and drive again!

Spy again, get by again

Feel like a real important guy again!

Fight crime again, it's do or die again

Get my life right again!

Owen would want me to do this

So I know that I'll get through it.

'Cause a spy is a spy is a spy is a spy is a spy!

And if I once was a spy

Then I'm gonna be a spy

The best fucking spy

Again!

**Agent Mega:**
