(Intro:)
I I
I
On the lam from the law
I
On the steps of the capital
I I
You shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o'clock
II
And I saw momentarily
II I
They flashed a photograph, it couldn't be you
II
You'd been abused so horribly
II I I
But you were there in some anonymous room
I
And I recall that fall
I
I was working for the government
I I
And in a bathroom stall off the national mall
II
How we kissed so sweetly
II I
How could I refuse a favor or two
II
And for a tryst in the greenery
II I I
I gave you documents and microfilm too
GAnd from my ten floor tenement
Where once our bodies Amlay
How I longed to hear you Csay
Cm"No they'll never catcGh me now
CmNo they'll never catch me
AmNo they cannot catch me Fnow
We Ewill escape someFhow
FmSomehow, oh"
I I
I
It was late one night
I
I was awoken by the telephone
I I
I heard a strangled cry on the end of the line
II
Purloined in Petrograd
II I
They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay
II
So I paid off a bureaucrat
II I I
To convince your captors there to secret you away
GAnd at the gate of the embassy
Our hands met through the Ambars
As your whisper stilled my Cheart
Cm"No they'll never catcGh me now
CmNo they'll never catch me
AmNo they cannot catch me Fnow
We Ewill escape someFhow
FmSomehow, oh"
(Interlude:)
C B C B G
GAnd I dreamt one night
You were there in F#form
Hands Gheld high
In uniF#form
GOh
F#Oh
I I
I
It was ten years on
I
When you resurfaced in a motorcar
I C
And with the wave of an arm you were there and gone
