The police high-beams froze her perfect face in white glow for a while
The politic bureau'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, and she's compromised in doubt.
There's trouble with their war effort, and she's crossed the party lines.
You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind.

You were so pretty, oh.
And you were so pretty, oh.
We're hiding out.
And the files have been filled,
the regime won't be undermined.
And you were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind.

Quiet now don't make a sound, the system's shut us down,
now we 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.

Because,
you were so pretty, oh.
Hiding out, hiding out.
You were so pretty, oh.
Hiding out, we're 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.

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.

All because,
you were so pretty, yeah.
Hiding out, hiding out.
You were so pretty, oh.
Hiding out, we're hiding out.
Walk on by, hiding out, hiding out.
Walk on by, she's a red star.

(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.) 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.)
This song is from the album "Red Star EP".
