She nursed him there, ooh, over a night   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 to say, what a waste      When she had contact with the conflict   There was meanin', 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      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
