On the lam from the law, on the steps of the capitol You shot a plain clothes cop on the ten o'clock And I saw momentarily They flashed with photograph, it couldn't be youYou'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 MallHow we kissed so sweetly How could I refuse a favor or two And for a tryst in the greenery I gave you documents and microfilm tooAnd from my ten floor tenement Where once our bodies lay How I long to hear you sayNo, they'll never catch me now No, they'll never catch me No, they cannot catch me now We will escape somehow, somehowIt 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 awayAnd at the gate of the embassy Our hands met through the bars As your whisper stilled my heartNo, they'll never catch me now No, they'll never catch me No, they cannot catch me now We will escape somehow, somehowAnd I dreamt one night You were there in force Head held high in uniformIt was ten years on When you resurfaced in a motorcar And with the wave of an arm You were there and gone
Это интересно:Главный поэт-песенник и лидер группы The Decemberists Колин Мелой (Colin Meloy) родом из славного города Портленда. Когда-то в середине 90-х он еще играл alt-country в захудалой группе Tarkio. Группа, так и не отведав славы распалась, после того, как два их прекрасно сделанных альбома не окупили себя и, можно сказать, провалились. Но ничего, это было только начало.Долгие творческие поиски в итоге вылились в... продолжение
