(     * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *)x2

[ch][/ch]       
On the lam 
            * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
From the law
On the steps of 
       * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
The capital
You shot a plainclothes 
Cop on the 
* * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch] 
Ten               o'         clock

    * * [ch][/ch]* *     

And I saw momentarily
                   [ch][/ch]
They flashed a photograph, It couldn't be you

    * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *

You'd been abused so horribly
              (
But you were there in some anonymous room

    * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *)x2

[ch][/ch]   
And I recall that 
  * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
Fall
I was working for the 
  * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
Government
And in a bathroom     stall 
  * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
Off the national mall

    * * [ch][/ch]* *    

How we kissed so sweetly
         [ch][/ch]
How could I refuse a favor or two

    * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *

And for a tryst in the greenery
            (
I gave you documents and microfilm too

    * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *)x2

And from my ten floor tenement
Where once our bodies lay
How I longed 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, oh"

(     * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *)x2

[ch][/ch]   
It was late 
         * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
One night
[ch][/ch]   
I was awoken by the 
         * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
Telephone
I heard a strangled     
  * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
Cry           on the     end of the       line

    * * [ch][/ch]* *    

Purloined in Petrograd
                       [ch][/ch]
They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay

    * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *

So I paid off a bureaucrat
                       (
To convince your captors there to secret you away

    * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *)x2

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, oh"

BRIDGE

And I dreamt one night
You were there in form
Hands held high
In uniform
Oh
Oh

(     * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *)x2

[ch][/ch]       
It was ten 
         * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
Years on
[ch][/ch]   
When you resurfaced 
         * * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * * [ch][/ch]
In a motorcar
And with the wave of an arm 
* * [ch][/ch]* [ch][/ch]* * *
You were       there        and gone
