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
