Name: Brother Lightning & Sister Dupree
Duration: P00H04M19S
Description: I had the idea of two Cold War spies that disguised themselves as a priest and a nun and traveled the world on their assignments. The idea intrigued me as I thought those disguises would be the least suspicious wherever they went and could get in and out of practically anywhere. In the end they finally retire..............or do they? - Frank

lyrics

Brother Lightning And Sister Dupree

Brother Lightnin’ and Sister Dupree
Been on the run since ‘63
Names and faces, crazy places
County fairs and stock car races

Brother Lightnin’ and Ssister Dupree
Saw it all from sea to sea
Cities, jungles, power struggles
A world of chaos and body doubles

Another town, another name
It all seems to look the same
You can’t be found, don’t make a sound
Your life is just a secret game

Can’t get much colder behind the wall
Look over your shoulder to watch it fall
Assassinations and third world nations
And ports of call
Lookin’ back, you’ve seen it all

Brother Lightnin’ and Sister Dupree
Settled down in ‘93
No more jackals, no more hassles
Or sneakin’ ‘round in haunted castles

Brother Lightnin’ and Sister Dupree
On the beach in Rio D
No more lies, no more drawls
Livin’ free, but took the call
They took the call
