Runaway Train

Call you up in the middle of the night 
Like a fire fly 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 

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 coming back
Wrong way on a one way track 

Seems like I should be gettin' 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 mysteries seem so faded 

I can go where no one else can go 
I know what no one else knows 

Here I am just drowning 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 coming back
Wrong way on a one way track 

Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there 
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain 

A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealin' with the pain 

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track 

Runaway train burnin' in my viens 
Runaway but it always seems the same 

Runaway train never coming back
Wrong way on a one way track 

Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
