Red Star

[Intro] The police high beams froze her perfect face In white glow for a while The Politburo’s on high alert & her name showed up on file There’s trouble with their war effort She’s been speaking out Checkpoint Charlie’s radioed in She’s compromised in doubt There’s trouble with their war effort & she’s crossed the party line You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind You were so pretty oh & you were so pretty Oh oh We’re Hiding out & the files have been filled The regime won’t be undermined & you were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind     ...Quiet now don’t make a sound The system shut us down now we’ll find each other in the underground She had the voice once of the people now She’s timid as a mouse I would kiss you on the mouth in a safe house Because you were so pretty oh hiding out hiding out You were so pretty oh hiding out hiding out Walk on by we’re hiding out hiding out Walk on by she’s a red star she’s a red star [Bridge] - - - - (ring out) Tell me how did you let them in? We were silent secret agents But the resistance is wearing thin Dissent is now illegal she must pay the consequence In this thriller mystery baby you are my suspense Because you were so pretty yeah hiding out hiding out You were so pretty oh hiding out hiding out Walk on by hiding out hiding out Walk on by she’s a red star she’s a red star You’ve come so far don’t back down now You’ve come so far don’t back down now You’ve come so far don’t back down now You’ve come so far don’t back down now
