She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I 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 said, 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
