	作曲 : Meloy
	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 tryst 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 there 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 form
	Head held high
	In uniform
	It was ten years on
	When you resurfaced in a motorcar
	With the wave of an arm you were there and gone
