Call you up

in the middle of the night

like a firefly without a light

You were there

like a blowtorch burnin'

I was a key that could

use a little turnin'

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

lead myself astray

Runaway train

never goin' back

wrong way

on a oneway track

It 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 a

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

Runaway train

never goin' 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

laughin' at the rain

A little out of touch

little insane

it's just easier

than dealin' with the pain

Runaway train

never goin' 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 comin' back

runaway train

tearin' up the track

Runaway train

burnin' in my veins

I run away but it

always seems the same
