Runaway Train

Call you up in the middle of the night

Like a firefly without a light

You were there like a blowtorch burning

I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that i couldnt even sleep

So many secrets i couldn't keep

Promised myself i wouldnt weep

One more promise i couldn't keep

 

It seems no one can help me now

I'm in too deep

Theres no way out

This time i have really lead myself astray

 

Runaway train, never goin back

Wrong way on a one-way track

Seems like i should be getting somewhere

Somehow i'm neither here nor there (2x)

 

Can you help me remember how to smile?

Make it somehow all seem worthwhile

How on earth did i get so jaded?

Lifes mysteries seem so faded

I can go where no one else can go

I know what no one else knows

Here i am just drownin' in the rain

With a ticket for a runaway train

 

And everything seems cut and dry

Day and night

Earth and sky

Somehow i just dont believe it

 

Runaway train, never goin' back

Wrong way on a one-way track

Seems like i should be getting somewhere

Somehow im neither here nor there (2x)

 

Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughing at the rain

Little out of touch, little insane

It's just easier than dealing with the pain

 

Runaway train, never goin' back

Wrong way on a one-way track

Seems like i should be getting somewhere

Somehow im neither here nor there

 

Runaway train, never comin back

Runaway train, tearin' up the track

Runaway train, burnin in my veins

I run away but it always seems the same
