Red Star

The police high beams 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 radioed in
 She's compromised in doubt
 There's trouble with their 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
 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'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
 Cause you were so pretty, oh
 hiding out
 hiding out
 Cause you were so pretty, oh
 hiding out
 hiding out
 Walk on by
 well, 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, yeah
 hiding out
 hiding out
 Cause 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...
