[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"

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's-, 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

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's-, a dissident is here, oh!

[Bridge]

(Oh)

(Oh, oh-oh-oh)

[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

[Outro]

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
