Runaway Train
Call you up in the middle of
the night.
Like a firefly without a light,
You were there like a slow torch
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.
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 no
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 dry;
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 no
there.
Music Interlude
Bought a ticket for a runaway
train
Like a madman laughin' at the
rain
A 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 no
there.
Runaway train never comin' back.
Runaway train tearin' up the
track.
Runaway train burnin' in my
veins.
Runaway but it always seems
the same.
