Intro:
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
Chorus:
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
Verse 2
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life s mysteries seem so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drowning 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
Chorus
Bridge:
Got 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 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
Id runaway but it always seems the same.
