  • We were on the Russian border
    When the news began to break
    Of a nuclear reactor melting down
    Sending deadly clouds of dust
    Into the atmosphere
    Falling down like rain upon the ground
    We were laying in the sun
    Listening to the radio
    When someone said you'd better get inside
    We didn't know how serious
    The situation was
    That many people to the North had died
    Red alert, red alert
    Screaming in my head
    There's something I'm not sure of going down
    Red alert, red alert
    Screaming in the night
    That fallout seems to follow me around
    We made out way to Hungary
    Got ready for the show
    Thinking we were safe there
    From the storm
    But the deadly cloud was high above
    Taken by the wind
    Spreading like a plague across the land
    A threat you couldn't see
    Nothing you could feel
    Something evil floating in the air
    Look towards the East
    For the danger yet to come
    For the Earth
    We make a silent prayer
    Red alert, red alert
    Screaming in my head
    There's something I'm not sure of going down
    Red alert, red alert
    Screaming in the night
    That fallout seems to follow me around
    We were on the Russian border
    When the news began to break
    Of a nuclear reactor melting down
    Sending deadly clouds of dust
    Into the atmosphere
    Falling down like rain upon the ground
    Red alert, red alert
    Screaming in my head
    There's something I'm not sure of going down
    Red alert, red alert
    Screaming in the night
    That fallout seems to follow me around Writer/s: PAUL (GB 2) JOHNSON, PAUL QUINN, PETERY ROONEY BYFORD
