Red Star (acoustic)

The police side beams froze a perfect face In white glow for a while The party girls 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 Hiding out You were so pretty, oh 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 shutters 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 And you've come so far Don't back down now No, you've come so far Don't back down now A walk on by Don't back down now You've come so far You're a red star She's a red star So far 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 You've come so far Don't back down now Oh, you've come so far Don't back down now Walk on by Don't back down now You've come so far You're a red star She's a red star She's a red star So far Don't back down now And you've come so far Don't back down now
