Lyrics

She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
Wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say...what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past...a holy no..
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded..
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here

And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing to say, what a waste
When she had contact...with the conflict..
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold...she folded..
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...oh...oh..

She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded..
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh..
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded..
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh..
A dissident is here
