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
