Dissidents

One more young writer

Slid away in the night

Over the border

He will drown in light (And the man said)

Hold it (Hold it) (He said) Wait a minute (Wait a minute)

I can't read my writing

(My own writing, my writing)

My own writing, like tiny insects in the palm of history

(My writing, my writing)

A domino effect in a cloud of mystery

(My own writing, my writing)

Is an iron fist in a glove full of vaseline

(My writing, my own writing)

Dip the fuse in the kerosene, I too became a dissident

Became a dissident

Became a dissident

Courting disaster

We ran in the night

Wings of an angel

Were torn in flight  (When the man said)

Check it (Hold it) (He said) Verify it (Wait a minute)

It's all here in writing

(My own writing, my writing)

My own writing (Like tiny insects in the palm of history)

(My writing)

A domino effect and an early end to this story

(My writing, my writing)

Is an iron fist in a glove full of vaseline

(My writing, my own writing)

Dip the fuse in the kerosene, I too became a dissident

Became a dissident

Became a dissident

Check it, he said verify it

It's all here in writing

Down in writing (Down in writing, my writing)

At the hands of the press, and in the eyes of the government

(My writing, my writing)

I fell from grace, I too became a dissident

I was a dissident

Yeah (My writing)

Like tiny insects in the palm of history

(My writing)

A domino effect and an early end to this story

(My own writing)

Is an iron fist in a glove full of vaseline

Dip the fuse in the kerosene, I too became a dissident

Became a dissident

A dissi-dissi-dissi-
