she nursed him there, 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 
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 
a dissident, a dissident is here 
she gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded... 
a dissident is here 
escape is never, the safest path 
a dissident, a dissident is here 
couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded... 
a dissident is here 
escape is never the safest place 
a dissident is here
