Cover art for I Ran (So Far Away) lyrics by A Flock of Seagulls

This song was done in the 1980s. To me, it's clearly about being with someone you care about and getting nuked. People are talking about aliens and crap, but pay attention to the lyrics, even discusses ICBMs going into orbit, people disintegrating, huge nuclear clouds. After, supposed alien beams hold you still, you can't run. Nukes you can run from, but you can not get away, you just die tired.
