Sub-2-Hour Man (b-side)

(set to “Secret Agent Man.” Johnny Rivers. 1966)

There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he’s not a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are

he’ll only jog lightly tomorrow.

Sub-2-hour Man
Sub-2-hour Man
They’ve given you a number

and taken away your name.

Beware of pretty races that you find
A pretty race can hide an evil time.
Oh, go where you want to go
Or you’ll give yourself away.
Odds are

you’ll only jog lightly tomorrow.

Sub-2-hour Man
Sub-2-hour Man
They’ve given you a number

and taken away your name.

Swinging down the Vienna roadway
And thinking you might go faster another day
Oh, don’t you let the wrong shoes slip
While laying down negative splits.
Odds are

you won’t feel like jogging tomorrow.

Sub-2-hour Man
Sub-2-hour Man
They’ve given you a number

and taken away your name.

I am actually more partial to Devo’s version. So, for your listening edification, I present, without further ado…
