To convince your captors, they're to secret you away
We will escape somehow, somehow
It was ten years on
And from my ten floor tenement
Head held high in uniform
How we kissed so sweetly
We will escape somehow, somehow
No, they cannot catch me now
Our hands met through the bars
No, they'll never catch me now
And at the gate of the embassy
But you were there in some anonymous room
As your whisper stilled my heart
No, they'll never catch me
And with the wave of an arm
It was late one night, I was awoken by the telephone
Of where your loyalties lay, so I paid off a bureaucrat
How could I refuse a favor or two
You were there in force
No, they'll never catch me
I gave you documents and microfilm too
And I saw momentarily
And in a bathroom stall off the National Mall
I heard a strangled cry on the end of the line
And I dreamt one night
Where once our bodies lay
And for a tryst in the greenery
They flashed with photograph, it couldn't be you
When you resurfaced in a motorcar
You'd been abused so horribly
No, they cannot catch me now
And I recall that fall, I was working for the government
How I long to hear you say
No, they'll never catch me now
Purloined in Petrograd, they were suspicious
