She nursed him there, ooh, over a night 
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay 
What to say...what to say 
But soon she was down, soon he was low 
At a quarter past...a holy no... 
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded... 
A dissident is here 
Escape is never, the safest path 
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here

And to this day, she's glided on 
Always home but so far away 
Like a word misplaced 
Nothing said, what a waste 
When she had contact...with the conflict... 
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state 
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold...she folded... 
A dissident is here 
Escape is never, the safest path 
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...oh...oh...

She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded... 
A dissident is here Escape is never, the safest path 
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh... 
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded... 
A dissident is here 
Escape is never the safest place, oh... 
A dissident is here
