Red Star

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins] The police high beams froze her perfect face in white glow for a while The Politburo's on high alert and 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 and she's crossed the party line You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] You were so pretty, oh You were so pretty, oh We're hiding out, the files have been filled The regime won't be undermined And you were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind [Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins] Quiet now don't make a sound The system shut us down now, we'll 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 [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] Because you were so pretty, oh Hiding out, hiding out You were so pretty, oh Hiding out, hiding out Walk on by, we're hiding out, we're hiding out Walk on by, she's a red star She's a red star [Guitar Solo: Tony Fredianelli] [Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins] 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 [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] All because you were so pretty, yeah Hiding out, hiding out You were so pretty, oh We're hiding out, we're hiding out Walk on by, hiding out, hiding out Walk on by, she's a red star She's a red star [Outro: Stephan Jenkins] You've come so far, don't back down now (She's a red star) You've come so far, don't back down now (A red star) You've come so far, don't back down now You've come so far, don't back down now
