Runaway Train

Sometimes I stumble, sometimes I fall

Angels of my nature won't accept last call

I stopped thinkin', I just react

Before I know it everything turns black

I'm on a highway, doing ninety

Utterly jinxed

Out of control and impossibly loose

I'm comprehending, without a clue

I don't know where I'm going

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I'm like a runaway train

Screamin' through the back ten

Roarin' through the rain

Like a runaway train

Maybe it's a full moon, maybe high tide

The fear of dying young that makes me take that ride

I start out slowly, building up steam

Before I know it, all illusion, it's like I'm in a dream

No rhyme, no reason, nothing makes sense

No future, no past, only present tense

I'm out there floating, completely alone

In a universe of chaos, indifferent as a stone

Like a runaway train

Racin' to the void

Roarin' through the rain

Like a runaway train

I can't explain the unexplainable

Where's the electron gonna be next

Do we really die for love and glory?

Or only for wealth and sex?

Is there a reason why, I'm on this road?

Is it random or ordained?

Is everyone in the world dead tonight?

Am I the only one insane?

We approach the speed of light

We approach infinite mass

We can't cross over, all the future becomes the past

It's nice to know there's limits

Nice to know there's walls

But when you're on a bender, you don't care about that at all

There's only movin' forward

Pickin' up speed

Movin' feels like freedom, sometimes that's all you need

There's the wind in your hair

A cold on your brow

Nothing else matters, you're alive right now

Like a runaway train

Ragin' through the dark night

Roarin' 'gainst the grain

Like a runaway train

Oh, runaway train

Oh, like a train

Runaway train

Runaway train

Runaway train

Runaway train
