Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
She had to turn around
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
But when she had contact with the conflict
There was meaning but she sold him to the state
[PreChorus]
She had to turn around
[Chorus]
When she couldn't hold, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path, oh
A dissident, a dissident is here
[Chorus]
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's, a dissident is here
[Chorus]
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
