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 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
