Runaway Train Lyrics


    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 couldn't even sleep
    So many secrets I couldn't keep
    I 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 going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting 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 mystery 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 dried,
    Day and night, earth and sky,
    Somehow I just don't believe it

    Runaway train, never going 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 laughing at the rain
    A little out of touch, a little insane
    It's just easier than dealing with the pain

    Runaway train, never going 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 coming back
    Runaway train, tearing up the track
    Runaway train, burning in my veins
    I run away but it always seems the same
