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
