Runaway Train

Lyrics

Call you up in the middle of the night
 Like a firefly without a light
 You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
 I was a key that could use a little turnin'
 So tired that I couldn't even sleep
 So many secrets I couldn't keep
 Promised myself I wouldn't weep
 One more promise, I couldn't keep
 It seems no one can help me now
 I'm in too deep, there's no way out
 This time I have really led myself astray
 Runaway train, never goin' back
 Wrong way, on a one way track
 Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there
 ♪
 Can you help me remember how to smile
 Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
 How on Earth did I get so jaded
 Life's history seems so faded
 I can go where no one else can go
 I know what no one else knows
 Here I am just a 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 don't believe it
 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
 ♪
 Bought a ticket for a runaway train
 Like a madman laughin' at the rain
 A little out of touch, little insane
 Just easier than dealin' with the pain
 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
 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
