《The Bagman’s Gambit(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Bagman's Gambit - The Decemberists (十二月党)

[00:00:11] On the lam from the law

[00:00:16] On the steps of the capitol

[00:00:20] You shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o'clock

[00:00:32] And I saw momentarily

[00:00:36] They flashed a photograph it couldn't be you

[00:00:46] You'd been abused so horribly

[00:00:51] But you were there in some anonymous room

[00:01:04] And I recall that fall

[00:01:09] I was working for the government

[00:01:14] And in a bathroom stall off the National Mall

[00:01:25] How we kissed so sweetly

[00:01:29] How could I refuse a favor or two

[00:01:40] For a tryst in the greenery

[00:01:44] I gave you documents and microfilm too

[00:01:59] And from my ten floor tenement

[00:02:02] Where once our bodies lay

[00:02:06] How I long to hear you say

[00:02:14] No they'll never catch me now

[00:02:22] No they'll never catch me

[00:02:26] No they cannot catch me now

[00:02:32] We will escape somehow somehow

[00:02:55] It was late one night

[00:02:59] I was awoken by the telephone

[00:03:04] I heard a strangled cry on the end of the line

[00:03:15] Purloined in Petrograd

[00:03:20] They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay

[00:03:29] So I paid off a bureaucrat

[00:03:34] To convince your captors there to secret you away

[00:03:48] And at the gate of the embassy

[00:03:54] Our hands met through the bars

[00:03:57] As your whisper stilled my heart

[00:04:03] No they'll never catch me now

[00:04:12] No they'll never catch me

[00:04:15] No they cannot catch me now

[00:04:21] We will escape somehow somehow
