On the lam from the law
on the steps of the capitol
you shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o`clock
and I saw momentarily
they flashed a photograph, it couldn`t be you
you`d been abused so horribly
but you were there in some anonymous room
and I recall that fall
I was working for the government
and in a bathroom stall off the National Mall
how we kissed so sweetly
how could I refuse a favor or two
for a trist in the greenery
I gave you documents and microfilm, too
And from my ten floor tenement
where once our bodies lay
how I long to hear you say
no, they`ll never catch me now
no, they`ll never catch me
no, they cannot catch me now
we will escape somehow
somehow
It was late one night
I was awoken by the telephone
I heard a strangled cry on the end of the line
purloined in Petrograd
they were suspicious of where your loyalties lay
so I paid off a bureaucrat
to convince your captors they`re to secret you away
And at the gate of the embassy
our hands met through the bars
as your whisper stilled my heart
no, they`ll never catch me now
no, they`ll never catch me
no, they cannot catch me now
we will escape somehow
somehow
And I dreamt one night
you were there in fours
head held high
in uniform
