A double secret agent
And he was paid to kill
With cold steel magnum force is
How the man possessed the skill
He shot a man in Paris
He did a job in L.A
And if the price was right, he'd surely
Take your life away

Wanted
Dead or alive
Blood for money, money
Assault
Homicide
Blood for money, money
Money, money
Wanted

He drove a Maserati
Lived up in the hills, yeah
A cat with nine lives that's gone
Too far to feel the chill
He never though it'd happen
It was his last mistake
'Cause he was gunned down
By a heartless woman's .38

Wanted
Dead or alive
Blood for money, money
Assault
Homicide
Blood for money, money
Money, money
Money, money

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
