Red Star

The police high beam froze her perfect face

In white glow for a while

The politburo's on high alert

And her name showed up on file

There's trouble with their war effort

And she's been speaking out

Checkpoint Charlie's radioing in

She's compromised in doubt

There's trouble with the war effort and she's crossed the party line

You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind

You were so pretty oh

And you were so pretty oh oh oh

Well I don't know...

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 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

Cause you were so pretty oh

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

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

Cause you were so pretty oh

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 to back down now...
