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
 

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
 

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 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

CHORUS
 

Bought a ticket for a runaway train  , Like a madman laughin' at the rain

Little out of touch, little insane , Just easier than dealing with the pain

CHORUS

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
