Runaway Train Lyrics

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's known 
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
