Red Star Lyrics by Third Eye Blind

Unplugged

2008

[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
