Story Behind the Song
A horrible fantasy about my wife being taken over by the alien pods from Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers. I had to kill her to save her. A common theme/fear in my writing.
Lyrics
Runaway! You can't protect her, they're screaming in from all sides. It's not a dream, they'll make you listen to her dying cries. You fooled them once, walked among them, you and Sue. You are prepared, two "talons" left for her and you. Runaway! You had to kill her, couldn't let her become one of them. She couldn't make it, kept falling into deadly REM. Your smile's feral, you'll kill before they take you down. Your laser burns fractal as you spray the crowd. Runaway!
